Can any one help me to find out the accurate coding pattern for Acute Laryngobronchitis ?
I would go for Split coding as Acute Laryngitis (J04.0) and Bronchitis (J40) .
Is this appropriate to code like this??
Or Acute Laryngitis ( J04.0) and Acute Bronchitis (J20.9)

I would like to get more suggestions from Ours Coders group with Examples and Documentation .

Thank you
 
Michelle

Chapter 10: Diseases of the Respiratory System (J00-J99) the first note says: When a respiratory condition is described as occurring in more than one site and is not specifically indexed, it should be classified to the lower anatomic site (e.g. tracheobronchitis code to bronchititis in J40). Code only the acute bronchitis.

Thanks Michelle for your Kind reply . I could not find the Specific Guideline regarding this (which you mentioned in the comment) Under Chapter 10.So I am still searching for more documentations to judge the accurate coding . .
