I am trying to find a code for COPD that is NOT unspecified. Medicaid will not accept the J44.9. Ideas?

You can code only what is documented. If the provider only states COPD then J44.9 is the best code you can give. For a better code you will need more specific documentation.

Thanks! That's what I thought.
