What is the ICD 10 code for atelectasis?
Atelectasis. J98.11 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2020 edition of ICD-10-CM J98.11 became effective on October 1, 2019. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of J98.11 - other international versions of ICD-10 J98.11 may differ.
What is atelectasis postoperative?
Atelectasis refers to a partial collapse of the small airways, a common post-operative complication. It can present with hypoxia, raised respiratory rate, or even low-grade pyrexia. Diagnosis is typically clinical, occurring within 24 hours post-operatively. Pain control and physiotherapy form the mainstay of management.
What is the ICD 10 code for postoperative syndrome?

Is atelectasis an integral condition?
A: In order to answer your question more information surrounding the circumstances of the encounter would be required. Atelectasis is usually considered an integral condition when it occurs following surgery because the turning, coughing, and deep breathing is typically routine protocol for this type of patient.
Why is atelectasis considered an integral condition?
Atelectasis is usually considered an integral condition when it occurs following surgery because the turning, coughing, and deep breathing is typically routine protocol for this type of patient.
Can abnormal findings be coded?
Since abnormal findings (laboratory, x-ray, pathology, and other diagnostic results) are not coded and reported unless the attending provider indicates their clinical significance you first need to ensure the finding is a reportable diagnosis before you can query for the associated diagnosis to be added. If findings are outside the normal range and the attending has ordered other tests to evaluate the condition or prescribed treatment, it would be appropriate to query the physician to have the clinical significance clarified and diagnosis added.
Not Valid for Submission
770.4 is a legacy non-billable code used to specify a medical diagnosis of primary atelectasis. This code was replaced on September 30, 2015 by its ICD-10 equivalent.
Information for Medical Professionals
The Medicare Code Editor (MCE) detects and reports errors in the coding of claims data. The following ICD-9 Code Edits are applicable to this code:
Information for Patients
A collapsed lung happens when air enters the pleural space, the area between the lung and the chest wall. If it is a total collapse, it is called pneumothorax. If only part of the lung is affected, it is called atelectasis.
ICD-9 Footnotes
General Equivalence Map Definitions The ICD-9 and ICD-10 GEMs are used to facilitate linking between the diagnosis codes in ICD-9-CM and the new ICD-10-CM code set. The GEMs are the raw material from which providers, health information vendors and payers can derive specific applied mappings to meet their needs.
What section should aftercare codes be listed?
Also, it says that aftercare codes should be listed first, followed by codes that describe the surgery in more detail - the one you mentioned seems to jive with the example they have listed. It's all under Section I, 7: Aftercare, if you decide to look it up when you get around your book.
Is V45.79 a good code?
I think V45.79 is a good secondary code to V56.75- I didn't see that one before. ICD-9 guidelines state to make the first-listed diagnosis the one that best describes the reason for the encounter shown in the record to be chiefly responsible for the services rendered. Also, it says that aftercare codes should be listed first, followed by codes that describe the surgery in more detail - the one you mentioned seems to jive with the example they have listed. It's all under Section I, 7: Aftercare, if you decide to look it up when you get around your book.
What are the clinical features of atelectasis?
The most common clinical features are increased respiratory rate and reduced oxygen saturations.
What are the complications of atelectasis?
These include hypoxaemia, reduced lung compliance, pulmonary infections, and acute respiratory failure.
How to treat atelectasis?
The most effective treatments for atelectasis are deep breathing exercises and chest physiotherapy . This ensures that the airways are opened maximally and coughing can be performed effectively.
How long does it take for atelectasis to be diagnosed?
It can present with hypoxia, raised respiratory rate, or even low-grade pyrexia. Diagnosis is typically clinical, occurring within 24 hours post-operatively.
Does CPAP reduce atelectasis?
A Cochrane Review suggested that postoperative continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) may reduce the risks of postoperative atelectasis, pneumonia, and requiring reintubation. However, its effect on mortality, hypoxia or invasive ventilation is uncertain.
What is a lung atelectasis?
Clinical Information. A disorder characterized by the collapse of part or the entire lung. Absence of air in the entire or part of a lung, such as an incompletely inflated neonate lung or a collapsed adult lung. Pulmonary atelectasis can be caused by airway obstruction, lung compression, fibrotic contraction, or other factors.
When will the ICD-10-CM J98.11 be released?
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM J98.11 became effective on October 1, 2021.
What is a type 1 exclude note?
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 J98.11. 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. newborn atelectasis.
Can treatment be coded?
treatment to back it up, it should not be coded.
Is it possible to determine if it's new onset?
impossible to determine if it's new onset. I also disagree, that all
Do post op PTS capture actelectasis?
Other post op pts and service lines are quite different and we do see and capture actelectasis in those populations.

What does a type 2 exclude note mean?
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 ( J95.89) and the excluded code together.
Pathophysiology
The pathophysiology of atelectasis is not fully understood. However, current theories suggest that airway collapse is due to a combinationof airway compression (Fig. 1), alveolar gas resorption intra-operatively, and impairment of surfactant production. In atelectasis, the reduced airway expansio…
Risk Factors
- The main risk factors for developing atelectasis in the surgical patient include: 1. Age 2. Smoking 3. Use of general anaesthesia 4. Durationof surgery 5. Pre-existinglung or neuromuscular disease 6. Prolonged bed rest(especially with limited position changes) 7. Poor post-operative pain control(resulting in shallow breathing)
Clinical Features
- Patients with atelectasis will present with varying degrees of respiratory compromise. The most common clinical features are increased respiratory rate andreduced oxygen saturations. On examination, the patient may have fine crackles over the affected pulmonary tissue and a reduced oxygen saturation; some cases can also produce a low-grade fever.
Investigations
- The diagnosis of atelectasis is typically clinical, especially in the post-operative patient who has developed respiratory symptoms within 24hrs of surgery. ACXRcan reveal small areas of airway collapse (Fig. 3). If inconclusive and warranting further investigation, CT imaging can have good sensitivity in identifying airway collapse and reduced airway volume (although they are rarely per…
Management
- The most effective treatments for atelectasis are deep breathing exercises and chest physiotherapy. This ensures that the airways are opened maximally and coughing can be performed effectively. As an adjunct, ensure that the patient has adequate pain controlto allow them to deep breathe. If no significant improvement is seen following physiotherapy, bronchosc…
Prevention
- All patients who have undergone major surgery should be referred to receive chest physiotherapyas a preventative measure. This has been shown to significantly reduce the risk of developing atelectasis. A Cochrane Review suggested that postoperative continuous positive airway pressure(CPAP) may reduce the risks of postoperative atelectasis, pneumonia, and requi…
