based on whether or not the respiratory failure is documented as acute, chronic, acute and/on chronic, AND whether the patient also has hypoxia, hypercapnia or both. Here is a brief description of the codes that can be assigned. Respiratory failure, NOS, is assigned to category J96.9- which is an MCC in many cases. The last
Pneumonia and influenza (480–488)
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, unspecified with hypercapnia J96. 92 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM J96. 92 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Acute Respiratory Failure:Type 1 (Hypoxemic ) - PO2 < 50 mmHg on room air. Usually seen in patients with acute pulmonary edema or acute lung injury. ... Type 2 (Hypercapnic/ Ventilatory ) - PCO2 > 50 mmHg (if not a chronic CO2 retainer). ... Type 3 (Peri-operative). ... Type 4 (Shock) - secondary to cardiovascular instability.
Respiratory failure is divided into type I and type II. Type I respiratory failure involves low oxygen, and normal or low carbon dioxide levels. Type II respiratory failure involves low oxygen, with high carbon dioxide.
ICD-10-CM Code for Chronic respiratory failure, unspecified whether with hypoxia or hypercapnia J96. 10.
Respiratory insufficiency and failure can be defined broadly as the impairment of respiratory gas exchange between the ambient air and circulating blood. Respiratory insufficiency and failure are generally categorized into one of two types—hypercapnic or hypoxemic.
00 for Acute respiratory failure, unspecified whether with hypoxia or hypercapnia is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the respiratory system .
Respiratory Compromise TypesType 1 Respiratory Failure (hypoxemic): is associated with damage to lung tissue which prevents adequate oxygenation of the blood. ... Type 2 Respiratory Failure (hypercapnic): occurs when alveolar ventilation is insufficient to excrete the carbon dioxide being produced.
Respiratory failure is a serious condition that makes it difficult to breathe on your own. Respiratory failure develops when the lungs can't get enough oxygen into the blood. We breathe oxygen from the air into our lungs, and we breathe out carbon dioxide, which is a waste gas made in the body's cells.
Type 2 respiratory failure can be diagnosed from a blood test. In hospital, this is usually done by an arterial blood gas sample, where a sample of blood is commonly taken from the artery in your wrist. In the community, we use capillary testing where a small amount of blood is taken from your ear lobe.
ICD-10 code J96. 01 for Acute respiratory failure with hypoxia is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the respiratory system .
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. It gradually develops over time and requires long-term treatment.
518.83 is a legacy non-billable code used to specify a medical diagnosis of chronic respiratory failure. This code was replaced on September 30, 2015 by its ICD-10 equivalent.
References found for the code 518.83 in the Index of Diseases and Injuries:
Respiratory failure happens when not enough oxygen passes from your lungs into your blood. Your body's organs, such as your heart and brain, need oxygen-rich blood to work well. Respiratory failure also can happen if your lungs can't remove carbon dioxide (a waste gas) from your blood.
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.

Hypoxia may be classified as either generalized, affecting the whole body, or local, affecting a region of the body. Although hypoxia is often a pathological condition, variations in arterial oxygen concentrations can be part of the normal physiology, for example, during hypoventilation training or strenuous physical exercise.
