A functional defect characterized by reduced total lung capacity (TLC) not associated with abnormalities of expiratory airflow or airway resistance.
According to Coding Clinic, chronic restrictive lung disease is assigned to code 518.89, Other diseases of lung, not elsewhere classified. It also says that chronic restrictive lung disease “is an ill-defined term, however, and should be used only when the condition cannot be described more specifically.”
ICD-10-CM J41. 8 is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group(s) (MS-DRG v39.0): 190 Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with mcc.
Restrictive lung disease, a decrease in the total volume of air that the lungs are able to hold, is often due to a decrease in the elasticity of the lungs themselves or caused by a problem related to the expansion of the chest wall during inhalation.
While both types can cause shortness of breath, obstructive lung diseases (such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder) cause more difficulty with exhaling air, while restrictive lung diseases (such as pulmonary fibrosis) can cause problems by restricting a person's ability to inhale air.

When emphysema with COPD is documented, emphysema is reported (J43. 9), since emphysema is a more specific form of COPD. When asthma with COPD exacerbation is documented, code both the conditions J45. 909 - Asthma NOS and J44.
In coding, if patients have COPD and asthma documented, without any further specificity of the type of asthma, only COPD would be reported. Per the instructional notes under Category J44, Other chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, code also type of asthma, if applicable (J45-).
