Hello!
I am coding for the anesthesia for a pediatric pt that is getting flexible bronchoscopy w/BAL and the diagnoses that the surgeon put is P07.25, Z93.0. Pt is over 1 yr old and with the P code it will get denied.
The report also stated that pt has recurring respiratory infections but I am not sure how this should be coded. I am thinking J06.9, but I'm not 100%
Thank you in advance for your advice!
