Hypoxemia (low oxygen in your blood) can cause hypoxia (low oxygen in your tissues) when your blood doesn't carry enough oxygen to your tissues to meet your body's needs. The word hypoxia is sometimes used to describe both problems.
J96. 01 - Acute respiratory failure with hypoxia. ICD-10-CM.
ICD-10-CM Code for Acute and chronic respiratory failure with hypoxia J96. 21.
Definition. By Mayo Clinic Staff. Hypoxemia is a below-normal level of oxygen in your blood, specifically in the arteries. Hypoxemia is a sign of a problem related to breathing or circulation, and may result in various symptoms, such as shortness of breath.
Acute respiratory failure is defined as the inability of the respiratory system to meet the oxygenation, ventilation, or metabolic requirements of the patient.
The ICD-10-CM coding convention requires the underlying condition be sequenced first followed by the manifestation. Wherever such a combination exists there is a "Use Additional Code" note at the etiology code, and a "Code First" note at the manifestation code.
The two types of acute and chronic respiratory failure are hypoxemic and hypercapnic. Both conditions can trigger serious complications and the conditions often coexist. Hypoxemic respiratory failure means that you don't have enough oxygen in your blood, but your levels of carbon dioxide are close to normal.

Chronic respiratory failure can also be classified as hypoxemic or hypercapnic respiratory failure. Low blood oxygen levels cause hypoxemic respiratory failure. High carbon dioxide levels cause hypercapnic respiratory failure.
Common causes of hypoxemia include:Anemia.ARDS (Acute respiratory distress syndrome)Asthma.Congenital heart defects in children.Congenital heart disease in adults.COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) exacerbation — worsening of symptoms.Emphysema.Interstitial lung disease.More items...•
Severe hypoxemia (PaO2/FiO2 < 100 mmHg), which defines severe ARDS, can be found in 20–30 % of the patients and is associated with the highest mortality rate. Although the standard supportive treatment remains mechanical ventilation (noninvasive and invasive), possible adjuvant therapies can be considered.
In order to determine whether you have hypoxemia, your doctor will need to check the amount of oxygen in your blood. Most often, your doctor will use an oxygen monitor that is placed on your finger. However, sometimes your doctor will take a blood sample to measure oxygen levels in the blood.
Hypercapnia and hypoxia can exist either independently or together and there is no single combination code to describe the two conditions together. I have reported this as J96. 01 & J96. 02 frequently without any edits or denials.
J96.90 – Respiratory failure, unspecified, unspecified whether with hypoxia or hypercapnia.J96.91 – Respiratory failure, unspecified, with hypoxia.J96.92 – Respiratory failure, unspecified, with hypercapnia.
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).
ICD-10 code: J44. 1 Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with acute exacerbation, unspecified.
R09.02 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of hypoxemia. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.
An example of asphyxia is choking. Asphyxia causes generalized hypoxia, which affects primarily the tissues and organs. There are many circumstances that can induce asphyxia, all of which are characterized by an inability of an individual to acquire sufficient oxygen through breathing for an extended period of time.
Clinical Information. A pulmonary embolism is a sudden blockage in a lung artery. The cause is usually a blood clot in the leg called a deep vein thrombosis that breaks loose and travels through the bloodstream to the lung. Pulmonary embolism is a serious condition that can cause. permanent damage to the affected lung.
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 ( I26) and the excluded code together. chronic pulmonary embolism (.
