Good morning,
Need some thoughts on MDM. Would "Acute bronchitis with bronchospasm" be considered an acute uncomplicated illness, since bronchospasm is included in the code for acute bronchitis (J20.9) or would the specific mention of bronchospasm in the diagnosis be considered a moderate level of complexity?

Thanks in advance for any thoughts,
Laura
