Wiki Abnormal Breath Sounds

[kmccarren]

Any suggestions on how to code for "abnormal breath sounds"? I am coding for a PCP and he saw an infant who has the unusual breath sounds. No other symptoms. Was advised to have mom try to capture the breathing on a recording device.

I appreciate any help.

I looked under abnormal breathing behavior and was directed to see Respiration. Under Respiration, Insuffiency, Newborn NEC = 770.89.
