ICD-10 is the 10th revision of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, a medical classification list by the World Health Organization. It contains codes for diseases, signs and symptoms, abnormal findings, complaints, social circumstances, and external causes of injury or diseases. Work on ICD-10 began in 1983, became endorsed by the Forty-third World Health Assembly in 1990, and was first used by member states in 1994. It was replaced by ICD-11 on J
The ICD-10-CM is a catalog of diagnosis codes used by medical professionals for medical coding and reporting in health care settings. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) maintain the catalog in the U.S. releasing yearly updates.

ICD-10-CM Code for Acute and chronic respiratory failure J96. 2.
Chronic respiratory failure is a condition that results in the inability to effectively exchange carbon dioxide and oxygen, and induces chronically low oxygen levels or chronically high carbon dioxide levels.
ICD-9 code 518.83 for Chronic respiratory failure is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range -OTHER DISEASES OF RESPIRATORY SYSTEM (510-519).
A code from subcategory J96. 0, Acute respiratory failure, or subcategory J96. 2, Acute and chronic respiratory failure, may be assigned as a principal diagnosis when it is the condition established after study to be chiefly responsible for the hospital admission.
Respiratory failure may be acute or chronic. Acute respiratory failure is a short-term condition. It occurs suddenly and is typically treated as a medical emergency. Chronic respiratory failure, however, is an ongoing condition.
So, acute respiratory failure can be coded if the condition meets the definition for the principal diagnosis and is clinically supported in the medical record by a hands-on treating provider without any conflict existing in the documentation between any consulting and attending provider.
Secondary diagnosis: Respiratory failure may be listed as a secondary diagnosis if it occurs after admission, or if it is present on admission, but does not meet the definition of principal diagnosis.
Currently, the direction states that either the acute respiratory failure or the established etiology can be sequenced first; however, we must take the circumstances of the encounter into account. Many cite the coding convention related to etiology/manifestation as dictating that the etiology must be sequenced first.
Respiratory failure is a condition in which your lungs have a hard time loading your blood with oxygen or removing carbon dioxide. It can leave you with low oxygen, high carbon dioxide, or both.
The UHDDS item #11-b defines Other Diagnoses as “all conditions that coexist at the time of admission, that develop subsequently, or that affect the treatment received and/or the length of stay.
Many patients with severe, long-standing, or end-stage COPD may also have chronic respiratory failure. Elevated bicarbonate level (found on basic metabolic panel) Specific clinical criteria should be determined in collaboration with your organization’s physicians.
