Wiki help with diagnosis code-Has anyone run

[megstone]

Has anyone run into a diagnosis of "upper airway cough syndrome" and if so what diagnosis code would you suggest?

Thanks

According to the American College of Chest Physicians it is the new diagnostic term to replace Post Nasal Drip syndrome. I do not find either under syndrome or disease. But I would imagine you could code 784.91 (postnasal drip) and 786.2 (cough) which is what the syndrome involves.
