The ICD-9-CM consists of:
Other Synonyms Include:
Use additional code to identify infectious agent (B95-B97) Therefore, when the documentation states the type of urinary tract infection and the infectious organism, a code from B95-B97 must also be assigned. Urosepsis is a general term, and there is no code for it.

Both can be caused by a virus. Both affect the airways in the lungs, but bronchitis affects the larger airways (the bronchi). Bronchiolitis affects the smaller airways (bronchioles). Bronchitis usually affects older children and adults, while bronchiolitis is more common in younger children.

490 is a legacy non-billable code used to specify a medical diagnosis of bronchitis, not specified as acute or chronic. This code was replaced on September 30, 2015 by its ICD-10 equivalent.
To diagnose acute bronchitis, your health care provider will ask about your symptoms and listen to your breathing. You may also have other tests.
Most cases of acute bronchitis get better within several days. But your cough can last for several weeks after the infection is gone.
NEC "Not elsewhere classifiable" - This abbreviation in the Alphabetic Index represents "other specified". When a specific code is not available for a condition, the Alphabetic Index directs the coder to the "other specified” code in the Tabular List.
The inflamed bronchi produce a lot of mucus. This leads to cough and difficulty getting air in and out of the lungs. Cigarette smoking is the most common cause. Breathing in other fumes and dusts over a long period of time may also cause chronic bronchitis. Treatment will help your symptoms, but chronic bronchitis is a long-term condition that keeps coming back or never goes away completely.
NOS "Not otherwise specified" - This abbreviation is the equivalent of unspecified.
Code also note - A "code also" note instructs that two codes may be required to fully describe a condition, but this note does not provide sequencing direction.
466.0 is a legacy non-billable code used to specify a medical diagnosis of acute bronchitis. This code was replaced on September 30, 2015 by its ICD-10 equivalent.
To diagnose acute bronchitis, your health care provider will ask about your symptoms and listen to your breathing. You may also have other tests.
It can also cause shortness of breath, wheezing, a low fever, and chest tightness. There are two main types of bronchitis: acute and chronic. Most cases of acute bronchitis get better within several days. But your cough can last for several weeks after the infection is gone.
NEC "Not elsewhere classifiable" - This abbreviation in the Alphabetic Index represents "other specified". When a specific code is not available for a condition, the Alphabetic Index directs the coder to the "other specified” code in the Tabular List.

The same viruses that cause colds and the flu often cause acute bronchitis . These viruses spread through the air when people cough, or though physical contact (for example, on unwashed hands). Being exposed to tobacco smoke, air pollution, dusts, vapors, and fumes can also cause acute bronchitis. Less often, bacteria can also cause acute bronchitis.
Chronic bronchitis with acute exacerbation. Clinical Information. Bronchitis is an inflammation of the bronchial tubes, the airways that carry air to your lungs. It causes a cough that often brings up mucus, as well as shortness of breath, wheezing, and chest tightness.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM J20.9 became effective on October 1, 2021.
You may need inhaled medicine to open your airways if you are wheezing. You probably do not need antibiotics. They don't work against viruses - the most common cause of acute bronchitis. If your healthcare provider thinks you have a bacterial infection, he or she may prescribe antibiotics.

A diagnosis of COPD and acute bronchitis is classified to code 491.22. It is not necessary to assign code 466.0 (acute bronchitis) with 491.22. Code 491.22 is also assigned if the physician documents acute bronchitis with COPD exacerbation. However, if acute bronchitis is not mentioned with the COPD exacerbation, then code 491.21 is assigned (AHA Coding Clinic for ICD-9-CM, 2008, fourth quarter, pages 241-244).
Asthma with COPD is classified to code 493.2x. However, all coding directives in the Tabular List and index need to be reviewed to ensure appropriate code assignment. A fifth-digit sub classification is needed to identify the presence of status asthmaticus or exacerbation.
Exacerbation is defined as a decompensation of a chronic condition. It is also defined as an increased severity of asthma symptoms, such as wheezing and shortness of breath. Although an infection can trigger it, an exacerbation is not the same as an infection superimposed on a chronic condition. Status asthmaticus is a continuous obstructive asthmatic state unrelieved after initial therapy measures.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a chronic bronchitis alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency that is a genetic form of emphysema. The disease is most of the time characterized by the narrowing or obstruction of airflow and interference that hinders normal breathing. The primary risk factor for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is smoking or second hand smoking, heredity and air pollution.
When the acute exacerbation of COPD is clearly identified, it is the condition that will be designated as the principal diagnosis. (AHA Coding Clinic for ICD-9-CM, 1988, third quarter, pages 5-6).
Coding and sequencing for COPD are dependent on the physician documentation in the medical record and application of the Official Coding Guidelines for inpatient care.
