J44.9 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, unspecified. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.
Supportive oxygen therapy is the main treatment for restrictive lung disease. The main treatment for restrictive lung disease is supportive oxygen therapy. Oxygen therapy helps people with lung diseases get enough oxygen, even when their lungs cannot fully expand. Some people may need oxygen only at night or after exerting themselves.
Restrictive lung diseases are characterized by reduced lung volume, either because of an alternation in lung parenchyma or because of a disease of the pleura, chest wall, or neuromuscular apparatus. In physiological terms, restrictive lung diseases are characterized by reduced total lung capacity (TLC), vital capacity, or resting lung volume.
According to Coding Clinic, chronic restrictive lung disease is assigned to code 518.89, Other diseases of lung, not elsewhere classified. It also says that chronic restrictive lung disease “is an ill-defined term, however, and should be used only when the condition cannot be described more specifically.”
ICD-10-CM Code for Other disorders of lung J98. 4.
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.
Intrinsic restrictive lung diseases usually result from inflammation and scarring of lung tissue. The cause may be interstitial lung disease. This is an umbrella term for a large group of diseases that cause scarring of the lungs.
ICD-10 code: J84. 9 Interstitial pulmonary disease, unspecified.
89 for Abnormal findings on diagnostic imaging of other specified body structures is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .
Intrinsic restrictive lung disease Pulmonary fibrosis: This scarring on the lungs makes it more difficult for them to expand. Sarcoidosis: This disease causes inflammatory cells that fight infections to develop and harm the body. Pneumoconiosis: Pneumoconiosis occurs when tiny particles, such as dust, damage the lungs.

Obstructive lung diseases include conditions that make it hard to exhale all the air in the lungs. People with restrictive lung disease have difficulty fully expanding their lungs with air. Obstructive and restrictive lung disease share the same main symptom: shortness of breath with exertion.
While both types can cause shortness of breath, obstructive lung diseases, such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD), cause more difficulty with exhaling air, while restrictive lung diseases (such as pulmonary fibrosis) can cause problems by restricting a person's ability to inhale air.
Unlike obstructive lung diseases, such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which show a normal or increased total lung capacity (TLC), restrictive disease are associated with a decreased TLC.
Is Asthma Restrictive or Obstructive? Asthma is a condition that causes the airways to your lungs to become inflamed and swollen, making it difficult to breathe — and because it makes it more difficult for you to exhale, it's known as an obstructive lung disease.
Unlike obstructive lung diseases, such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which show a normal or increased total lung capacity (TLC), restrictive disease are associated with a decreased TLC.
ICD-10-CM J41. 8 is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group(s) (MS-DRG v39.0): 190 Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with mcc.
9 – Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, Unspecified. ICD-Code J44. 9 is a billable ICD-10 code used for healthcare diagnosis reimbursement of Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. This is sometimes referred to as chronic obstructive lung disease (COLD) or chronic obstructive airway disease (COAD).
8 for Other nonspecific abnormal finding of lung field is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM J98.4 became effective on October 1, 2021.
A non-neoplastic or neoplastic condition affecting the lung. Representative examples of non-neoplastic conditions include chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and pneumonia. Representative examples of neoplastic conditions include benign processes (e.g., respiratory papilloma) and malignant processes (e.g., lung carcinoma and metastatic cancer to the lung).
A type 1 excludes note is a pure excludes. It means "not coded here". A type 1 excludes note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as J98.4. A type 1 excludes note is for used for when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.
A chronic and progressive lung disorder characterized by the loss of elasticity of the bronchial tree and the air sacs, destruction of the air sacs wall, thickening of the bronchial wall, and mucous accumulation in the bronchial tree.
Signs and symptoms include shortness of breath, wheezing, productive cough, and chest tightness. The two main types of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease are chronic obstructive bronchitis and emphysema. A disease of chronic diffuse irreversible airflow obstruction. Subcategories of copd include chronic bronchitis and pulmonary emphysema.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease includes chronic bronchitis, in which the bronchi (large air passages) are inflamed and scarred, and emphysema, in which the alveoli (tiny air sacs) are damaged. It develops over many years and is usually caused by cigarette smoking.
A disease of chronic diffuse irreversible airflow obstruction. Subcategories of copd include chronic bronchitis and pulmonary emphysema.
A type 2 excludes note represents "not included here". A type 2 excludes note indicates that the condition excluded is not part of the condition it is excluded from but a patient may have both conditions at the same time. When a type 2 excludes note appears under a code it is acceptable to use both the code ( J44.9) and the excluded code together.
