Hello, I posted this question in the ICD10 forum which was probably not the right spot! LOL
How would you code a patient with COPD being admitted to the hospital for exacerbation of bronchial asthma?
I am torn between J449, J45901 and J441, J45901
I'm questioning if the COPD would be coded as exacerbated if the physician is stating the asthma is exacerbated......
Any input would be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks
