Bronchiectasis, uncomplicated. Segmental, irreversible dilation of the bronchial tree resulting in the accumulation of secretions which leads to obstruction. The most common cause is bacterial infection.
A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), also known as chronic obstructive lung disease (COLD) and chronic obstructive airway disease (COAD), among others, is a type of obstructive lung disease characterized by chronically poor airflow.
The main symptoms include shortness of breath, cough, and sputum production. Most people with chronic bronchitis have COPD. Gross pathology of a lung showing centrilobular-type emphysema characteristic of smoking.
VICC agrees with the clinical advice that bronchiectasis and COPD are two separate diseases. A code can be assigned for each condition depending on the documentation in the medical record. In the scenario cited, J47 Bronchiectasis is assigned.
Bronchiectasis is not the same as COPD or asthma. It is important to note that some patients develop bronchiectasis as a complication of COPD. As both conditions can cause, cough, breathlessness, repeated chest infections and abnormal breathing tests, it is not surprising that they can also sometimes be mixed up.
COPD is similar to bronchiectasis in that it causes frequent pneumonias, inflammation, and permanent damage to your lungs. However, COPD is used as an umbrella term to describe other impaired breathing conditions, such as emphysema, chronic bronchitis, or asthma.
ICD-10 code J47 for Bronchiectasis is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the respiratory system .
What is bronchiectasis?Cylindrical bronchiectasis: bronchi are enlarged and cylindrical.Varicose bronchiectasis: bronchi are irregular with areas of dilatation and constriction.Saccular or cystic: dilated bronchi form clusters of cysts.
Summary. Bronchiectasis is a permanent widening and scarring of the airways of the lungs, often due to repeated or severe infections. Bronchitis is inflammation of the large and small airways of the lungs.
Bronchiectasis is a lung condition that causes coughing up mucus due to scarred tissue in the bronchi, or the passages that let air into the lungs. The condition is fairly common among people aged 75 years and older, but it can also happen to younger people.
Bronchiectasis is a long-term condition where the airways of the lungs become widened, leading to a build-up of excess mucus that can make the lungs more vulnerable to infection. The most common symptoms of bronchiectasis include: a persistent cough that usually brings up phlegm (sputum)
Bronchiectasis is caused by a mainly neutrophilic inflammation and bronchial asthma by a mainly eosinophilic inflammation. This latter inflammation can be controlled with corticosteroid therapy, while macrolides can reduce the number of exacerbations in the neutrophilic form.

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).
By uncomplicated bronchiectasis is meant the characteristic changes of that disease in a portion of the bronchial tree without parenchymal abscess formation or pneumonitis as determined by the roentgenogram.
Postinfectious bronchiectasis. Clinical Information. Persistent abnormal dilatation of the bronchi. Segmental, irreversible dilation of the bronchial tree resulting in the accumulation of secretions which leads to obstruction. The most common cause is bacterial infection.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM J47.9 became effective on October 1, 2021.
COPD ICD 10 codes and guidelines can be found in chapter 10 of ICD-10-CM manual which is “diseases of the respiratory system”, code range J00 – J99
COPD ICD 10 Code list and guidelines 1 As COPD is a group of diseases it is important to see the coding guidelines properly before deciding which code to be assigned. 2 Look for the notes – Excludes 1, excludes 2, includes, code also, use additional. 3 Excludes 1 note has codes from category J43, J41, J42, J47 and J68.0 4 Asthma of specified type (Eg: mild intermittent asthma) should be coded separately along with COPD. 5 Disease – Airway – Obstructive = Leads to COPD
Groups of lung diseases contribute to COPD, most commonly seen combinations are Emphysema and chronic bronchitis. Cigarette smoking is one of the major risk factor in increasing the number of COPD patients in the world.
Diagnosis of COPD can be done by doing pulmonary function test (PFT), chest X-ray, CT lung or arterial blood gas analysis.
Note: asthma unspecified J45.909 can not be coded with COPD. Asthma can be coded only if it is specified to which type.
Can not code J43.9 (emphysema) as it has excludes 1 note for “emphysema with chronic (obstructive) bronchitis (J44.-)
As COPD is a group of diseases it is important to see the coding guidelines properly before deciding which code to be assigned.
J47.1 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of bronchiectasis with (acute) exacerbation. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.
This is the official approximate match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code J47.1 and a single ICD9 code, 494.1 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), also known as chronic obstructive lung disease (COLD) and chronic obstructive airway disease (COAD), among others, is a type of obstructive lung disease characterized by chronically poor airflow. It typically worsens over time. The main symptoms include shortness of breath, cough, and sputum production. Most people with chronic bronchitis have COPD.
J44. 0 converts approximately to one of the following ICD-9-CM codes: 491.22 - Obstructive chronic bronchitis with acute bronchitis.
J44. 9, Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, unspecified and J45. 40, Moderate persistent asthma, uncomplicated. Codes will be dependent upon the specificity of the COPD and asthma documented.
