Internal nasal valve collapse, dynamic

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

What This Code Means

Collapse of the internal nasal valve that occurs during breathing, particularly when air is drawn in through the nose.

Coding Tips

  • •Dynamic collapse is typically worse during inspiration when negative pressure causes the valve to collapse inward
  • •Clinical documentation should describe symptoms worsening with breathing effort to support this diagnosis
