and severe persistent asthma (J45.50 – J45.52).moderate persistent asthma (J45.40 – J45.42).mild intermittent asthma (J45.20 – J45.22).ICD-10-CM codes are stratified by severity.The ICD-9-CM to ICD-10-CM conversion will have a significant impact on public health surveillance systems and activities that involve coded clinical data and healthcare utilization data, particularly asthma-related hospital discharge and emergency department visits. The new structure will allow further expansion than was possible with ICD-9-CM.
#Icd10 j45 909 code

There are nearly 5 times as many diagnosis codes in ICD-10-CM than in ICD-9-CM. The ICD-10-CM code sets have updated medical terminology and disease classifications, thus ICD-9-CM and ICD-10-CM are vastly different. However, a clinical modification of the classification for morbidity purposes has been developed by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), the federal agency responsible for use of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, 10th revision (ICD-10-CM) in the United States. Deaths have been coded using asthma diagnostic codes (ICD-9 Code: 493 or ICD-10 Codes: J45, J46) as the underlying causes of death.


The ICD-10-CM is based on the ICD-10, the statistical classification of disease published by the World Health Organization (WHO). The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) is a morbidity classification published by the United States for classifying diagnoses and reason for visits in all health care settings.
