J98.09
BillableOther diseases of bronchus, not elsewhere classified
This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).
What This Code Means
Various diseases affecting the bronchus (airways in the lungs) that don't fit into other specific categories, such as bronchial stenosis or bronchiectasis complications.
Coding Tips
- •Use this code only when the specific bronchial condition is not classifiable elsewhere; review documentation for more specific diagnoses
- •Ensure the condition is documented as affecting the bronchus and not the bronchioles or other respiratory structures
