What code should be used for this:

Diffuse Alveolar Hemorrhage, stable
-Bronchoscopy on 10/5, instilled Factor VII locally
-no hemoptysis visible at this time

1) I can only find a code that refers to infant.
2) States no hemoptysis, so that could not be coded, correct?

Thank for your help.
 
Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage = pulmonary hemorrhage.

Non-newborn code:

786.30 Hemoptysis
See Includes note:
Pulmonary hemorrhage NOS


If you're using a book to code look up hemorrhage in the index, then pulmonary (see also Hemorrhage, lung) 786.30
