Guidelines
When a person presents with a vaping related disorder, it is correct to code all the signs and symptoms along with U07.0 to capture the severity of the disease process when the injury is of the lung.
False. Code only the U07.0 UNLESS there are other manifestations such as acute respiratory failure, pneumonitis etc.
When coding the diagnosis of chronic rhinitis, what other codes should be considered to code at the same time according to the chapter notes?
exposure to environmental tobacco smoke
exposure to tobacco smoke in the perinatal period
history of tobacco dependence
occupational exposure to environmental tobacco smoke
tobacco use
chronic laryngotracheitis
J37.1
Thoracentesis with imaging guidance
32555

U07.1, J12.82
What comes anatomically first, the bronchioles or alveoli?
Alveoli
When coding pneumonia, what is the note in the book instructing you to do?
Code first associated influenza, if applicable
Acute on chronic respiratory failure
J96.0, J96.1
removal of one lobe of lung-right
32480-RT
Documentation of influenza is enough to code the condition, even if there are not a lab result to support the diagnosis.
Correct-
How many lobes are in each lung?
Right: 3
Left: 2

30160
In what situations would it be appropriate to code acute respiratory failure as an OP?
ED
OP Clinic

When a respiratory condition is described as occurring in more than one site and is not specifically indexed, where should it be classified (ex. tracheobronchitis)?

Explain the difference between Acute Exacerbation of COPD and asthma and a diagnosis of just COPD w/asthma.
Acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive bronchitis and asthma The codes in categories J44 and J45 distinguish between uncomplicated cases and those in acute exacerbation. An acute exacerbation is a worsening or a decompensation of a chronic condition. An acute exacerbation is not equivalent to an infection superimposed on a chronic condition, though an exacerbation may be triggered by an infection.
What is the code for haymaker's lung?
J67.0
