What is restrictive lung disease? Restrictive lung disease, a decrease in the total volume of air that the lungs are able to hold, is often due to a decrease in the elasticity of the lungs themselves or caused by a problem related to the expansion of the chest wall during inhalation.

9 – Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, Unspecified.
Interstitial lung disease refers to a group of about 100 chronic lung disorders characterized by inflammation and scarring that make it hard for the lungs to get enough oxygen. The scarring is called pulmonary fibrosis.
When the walls are damaged the alveoli lose their ability to stretch and spring and the air gets trapped. Since the term COPD is unspecified and represents any form of unspecified chronic obstructive lung disease, an additional code is not needed when the diagnosis of emphysema is documented in the healthcare record.
ICD-10 code J84. 1 is currently the most specific code for IPF but may include other idiopathic interstitial pneumonia (IIP). ICD-9 code 516.3 is roughly equivalent; code 515 is “post-inflammatory fibrosis”.
ICD-10-CM Code for Chronic respiratory failure, unspecified whether with hypoxia or hypercapnia J96. 10.
Spirometry - CPT codes for Spirometry include 94010, 94011, 94012, 94060, 94070, 94150, 94200, 94375, 94726 and 94727. Routine and/or repetitive billing for unnecessary batteries of tests is not clinically reasonable.
Spirometry studies, in particular, require 3 attempts to be clinically acceptable.
CPT 94664 is intended for device “demonstration and/or evaluation" and will be usually paid for once per beneficiary for the same provider or group. (Occasional extenuating circumstances, new equipment, etc, may merit two sessions or other repeat training or evaluation. Simple follow-up observation during an E/M exam for pulmonary disease is not a stand-alone procedure, unless the E/M session is not billed).
All providers of pulmonary function tests should have on file a referral (an order, a prescription) with clinical diagnoses and requested tests. Indications in the primary medical record must be available for review.
Computed tomography perfusion imaging has been proposed to be used primarily as a method of evaluating patients suspected of having an acute stroke whenever thrombolysis is considered. Computed tomography perfusion imaging may provide information about the presence and site of vascular occlusion, the presence and extent of ischemia, and about tissue viability. This information may help the clinician determine whether thrombolysis is appropriate.
Computed tomography (CT) perfusion imaging provides a quantitative measurement of regional cerebral blood flow. Cerebral perfusion analysis is used in neuroradiology to assess tissue level perfusion and delivery of blood to the brain and/or tissues of the head. A perfusion CT study involves sequential acquisition of CT sections during intravenous administration of an iodinated contrast agent. The procedure involves injecting a contrast agent into the individual. The blood carries the contrast agent to the brain and the rate at which it accumulates in the brain is detected by a CT scanner. Analysis of the results allows the physician to calculate the regional cerebral blood volume, the blood mean transit time through the cerebral capillaries, and the regional cerebral blood flow.
Aetna considers cerebral CT perfusion studies experimental and investigational for the following indications because there is inadequate scientific evidence to support its use for these indications (not an all-inclusive list): Confirmation of brain death. Differentiation of lung cancer from benign lesions.
Current literature on CT perfusion imaging has focused on its feasibility and technical capabilities. Prospective clinical studies are needed to determine the clinical value of CT perfusion imaging over standard non-contrast computed tomography in the assessment of patients with symptoms suggestive of acute stroke, and in the triage of patients in whom thrombolytic therapy is contemplated.
Furthermore, no recommendation can be made for the use of CT perfusion in patients with chronic ischemia, vasospasm, head trauma, or as part of the balloon occlusion test, the traditional method for identifying patients at risk for stroke.
Inclusion Terms are a list of concepts for which a specific code is used. The list of Inclusion Terms is useful for determining the correct code in some cases, but the list is not necessarily exhaustive.

This is the official exact match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that in all cases where the ICD9 code 794.2 was previously used, R94.2 is the appropriate modern ICD10 code.
ICD 10 code j44 is further divided into j44.0, j44.1, j44.9 with each code representing a specific condition of COPD. J44.0 is an ICD 10 code for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with acute lower respiratory infection and the code are normally used to identify the type of infection.J44.1 on the other hand is an ICD10 code that will be used to represent chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with acute exacerbation, Decompensated COPD and decompensated COPD with acute exacerbation.
J44.1 is a specified ICD-10 code that can be used by medical billers and coders to specify a diagnosis for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.ICD-10-CM codes will officially replace the in use ICD-9-CM as from October 2014, they are currently only used for training and planning purposes.
The ICD 10 codes between J44 and j45 are normally used to specify and distinguish between uncomplicated cases and those conditions in acute exacerbation. An acute exacerbation is a condition that is essentially worsening or a decomposition of a chronic illness. One thing worth noting is that acute exacerbation is not equivalent to an infection superimposed on a chronic condition although it might be triggered by an infection.
ICD 10 codes j40-j44 will be used to define the various diagnoses of Chronic Obstructive pulmonary disease including all disease entities bronchitis and lung disease. Code j44 will be used for other chronic obstructive pulmonary disease including asthma with chronic, obstructive pulmonary disease, chromic asthmatic obstructive bronchitis, chronic bronchitis with airways obstruction, chronic bronchitis with emphysema and chronic obstructive asthma.
Chronic obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) also commonly known as chronic obstructive lung disease is a disease for the lungs that is persistent with poor air flow as a result of breakdown of the lung tissue and dysfunction of the small airways.
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary disease is a high burden disease commonly known to cause disability and impairment of life. It is one of the leading causes of chronic morbidity and mortality in the US. Prevention of the disease is highly possible and should always be encouraged even though treatment is also effective.
Under Coverage Indications, Limitations and /or Medical Necessity removed quoted Internet Only Manual (IOM) text and changed verbiage to read “Positron emission tomography (PET) scans performed for the diagnosis and management of patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease, using Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Rubidium 82 (Rb 82), are covered when the following conditions are met: The PET scan (at rest or rest with stress) is perform ed in place of SPECT ; or is performed following and inconclusive SPECT (results that are equivocal, technically uninterpretable, or discordant with the patient’s other clinical data). In such cases the PET scan must have been determined to be medically necessary to guide further treatment of the patient. When a PET scan is performed as an additional diagnostic test in the instance of an equivocal SPECT, the reason for performing the PET scan must be clearly documented in the patient’s record.” which starts in the fourth paragraph. Under the subheading Indication for Myocardial Perfusion Imaging removed italics from all five headings. Under Bibliography changes were made to citations to reflect AMA citation guidelines. Formatting, punctuation and typographical errors were corrected, acronyms were inserted, and CPT ® was inserted throughout the LCD where applicable.
2. Unstable angina - MPI may be useful as an adjunct to other tests in the diagnosis or treatment of unstable angina only when the combination of history and other tests is not diagnostic. In selected patients, imaging is appropriate for:
