Additional Info

• This code is for bronchitis or tracheobronchitis which: (a) may be infectious or non-infectious, BUT (b) is NOT specified as acute or chronic.
• An IMPORTANT potential confusion is this code versus Bronchitis, chronic, infectious or noninfectious
  • The difference is whether it's known to be chronic (Bronchitis, chronic, infectious or noninfectious) versus not clear if it's chronic or acute (Bronchitis, acute or chronic not specified, infectious or noninfectious).
• On the other hand, for ACUTE infectious bronchitis or tracheobronchitis, use: Lower respiratory tract infection, acute infectious

Alternate ICD10s to consider coding instead or in addition

• COPD, acute exacerbation
• COPD, without exacerbation

Lower respiratory tract infection codes:

Bronchitis, chronic, infectious or noninfectious Lower respiratory tract infection, acute infectious

Apache inclusion

This code does not trigger APACHE Acute Dxs in ICD10 codes while some other dxs that seem no more "intense" do. This is a wastebasket course, and of its uses might have made sense to include in Apache, while others do not. So, we decided to exclude it.
