Billable

Supraglottitis, unspecified, without obstruction

This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).

What This Code Means

Inflammation of the tissue above the vocal cords (supraglottitis) without airway blockage.

Coding Tips

  • •Verify documentation confirms absence of obstruction; if obstruction status is unclear, query the provider
  • •Distinguish from J04.31 which includes obstruction - obstruction status significantly impacts severity and treatment
