Chapter X - Respiratory
Pneumonia
Organism, setting and coexisting COPD all change the code and its typing.
Cosa significa nella pratica
- Assign the organism-specific code when a causative organism is documented; J18.9 applies only when none is.
- Pneumonia in a patient with COPD has its own standard governing which condition is the most responsible diagnosis.
