Hello,

I'm working a visit where the medical record reads "dynamic airway collapse," but the superbill reads "tracheobronchomalacia." Is there a distinct difference between the two, or no? What code(s) would be used? When I looked up the malacias I found 2 different Dx codes.

748.3: Unspecified bronchomalacia
519.19: Unspecified tracheomalacia

D.S.
