J44.81 ICD-10-CM Code: Bronchiolitis obliterans and bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome

Coding instructions

Official Tabular Instructional Notes: the inclusion, exclusion and sequencing notes published for J44.81 in the official ICD-10-CM tabular list, quoted as published.

Source: CMS/CDC — ICD-10-CM Tabular ListRelease: FY2026Effective: October 1, 2025

Notes without a marker are published on J44.81 itself; “inherited from” names the category or block whose note applies here.

Coder workflow for J44.81

MedCoder structured workflow — derived from this code’s own official record

Before you code J44.81

1. Check the Excludes1 note: if the documentation supports a condition named there, do not simply proceed with J44.81. Excludes1 conditions are not reported together with this code unless the record shows they are unrelated (Guidelines I.A.12.a).

   See the official tabular notes

Choose the right path

1. Does the documentation support a condition named in J44.81’s Excludes1 note?
   Yes → Do not simply proceed: review the excluded code. Both are reported only when the record shows the two conditions are unrelated.
   No → Continue.

   ReviewJ68.0

2. Is the underlying (etiologic) condition the Code First note names documented?
   Yes → Sequence the underlying condition first, then J44.81.
   No → Continue; do not add an underlying condition the record does not document.

   ReviewT86.09, T86.5, T86.31, T86.810, T86.39, T86.818

Consider J44.81. Then review the Code Also note, and confirm the code is valid for the date of service in the Verify section.

Documentation check

The provider’s diagnostic statement

Codes are assigned from the provider’s documented diagnosis, not from clinical criteria, test values or a medication list (Guidelines I.A.19).

The underlying (etiologic) condition

Named in the Code First note; sequenced before this code when documented (Guidelines I.A.13).

Official instructions as workflow

• Excludes1 — check before selecting J44.81(1 note)

  Coding workflow: If the documentation supports a condition named in this note, do not simply proceed with J44.81: the two are not reported together. The one exception is when the record shows the two conditions are unrelated to each other.

  CompareJ68.0

  See the official tabular notes · Guidelines I.A.12.a

• Excludes2 — not part of J44.81(7 notes)

  Coding workflow: The conditions named in this note are not included in J44.81. When the record documents both, both may be reported; the note is a boundary, not a prohibition.

  CompareJ47, J42, J41, J43, E84

  See the official tabular notes · Guidelines I.A.12.b

• Code First — sequencing check(7 notes)

  Coding workflow: Check whether the underlying or etiologic condition the note names is documented. When it is, sequence it before J44.81. Do not add an underlying condition the record does not document.

  ReviewT86.09, T86.5, T86.31, T86.810, T86.39, T86.818

  See the official tabular notes · Guidelines I.A.13

• Code Also — related condition(5 notes)

  Coding workflow: Review the related condition when both are documented and the instruction applies. A Code Also note does not fix sequencing; the order follows the circumstances of the encounter.

Coding decision scenarios

Pattern scenarios for this code’s structure — decision rules, not clinical cases

Every row is derived from this code’s own record — its title, tabular notes, 7th-character family and same-category siblings — with fixed MedCoder wording; nothing is inferred about a patient. The official notes and guideline text are in the sections each row links to, and they control.

Indexed Clinical Terms (9)

Official source data — entries quoted as published, in the Index’s own lookup phrasing

Clinical term phrases from the official ICD-10-CM Index to Diseases and Injuries that map to this code. These are alphabetic-index entries shown as the Index writes them — lookup phrasing, not necessarily the wording of a final diagnosis.

Don’t confuse J44.81 with…

MedCoder analysis — pairs from this code’s official notes, distinctions written by MedCoder

The codes most likely to be picked instead of J44.81 — named in its own official notes, or sharing its laterality or encounter family — with what separates them and which documentation moves the case. Each links to the full comparison.

• J68.0— Excludes1 conflict (Excludes1 — generally not reported together)

  Not coded here — the tabular list excludes this pair for the same encounter.

  Not reported together with this code, except where the two conditions are documented as unrelated.

  What moves you there: Documentation of bronchitis due to chemicals, gases, fumes and vapors moves the case to J68.0; the two are not reported together unless documented as unrelated.

  Full comparison: J44.81 vs J68.0 →

• J47— Excludes2 relationship (Informational)

  Distinct conditions — both may be reported.

  A distinct condition — both may be reported when both are documented.

  What moves you there: Documentation of bronchiectasis adds J47; it is not part of this code and both may be reported when both are documented.

Decision Points

The directives on this code's own record, as a pre-claim checklist.

1. Sequencing: 7 Code First instructions — the underlying condition is sequenced before this code when present. See the Code First notes
2. 5 Code Also notes — a second code may apply; the guidelines leave its sequencing to the circumstances of the encounter. See the Code Also notes
3. 1 Excludes1 entry — codes named there are generally not reported together with this code (Guidelines I.A.12.a). See the Excludes1 notes
4. 7 Excludes2 entries — those conditions are not part of this code and may be reported additionally when documented. See the Excludes2 notes

Checklist rows are derived from this code's own official directives; the wording of each check is MedCoder editorial. The official notes themselves are in the sections each row links to.

Relationships & Classification

MedCoder structured relationships — computed from published CMS and AHRQ datasets

Other codes that name J44.81 or its code family, from the CMS ICD-10-CM tabular instructional notes. Tabular-note edges are stored at the code family level that carries each note.

Referenced by 2 Excludes1 notes: J42 — Unspecified chronic bronchitis (via J44.-), J42 — Unspecified chronic bronchitis.

These codes’ tabular lists mark this diagnosis as mutually exclusive — not reported together unless the conditions are documented as unrelated.

Referenced by 3 Excludes2 notes: J20 — Acute bronchitis (via J44.-), J41 — Simple and mucopurulent chronic bronchitis (via J44.-), J43 — Emphysema (via J44.-).

These codes’ tabular lists name this diagnosis as distinct — both may be reported when both are documented.

Referenced by 1 Code First instruction: I21.A1 — Myocardial infarction type 2 (via J44.-).

Each of these codes carries a Code First note naming this condition — when that code is reported, THIS code is sequenced first, ahead of it.

Referenced by 3 Code Also instructions: J4A — Chronic lung allograft dysfunction, J4A.0 — Restrictive allograft syndrome, J68.4 — Chronic respiratory conditions due to chemicals, gases, fumes and vapors.

These codes suggest coding this condition alongside when both are present.

MS-DRG Grouper Relationships (FY2026)

Potential MS-DRG participation — not a DRG assignment.

FY2026 MS-DRG: not on the CMS CC/MCC list — as a secondary diagnosis this code does not change MS-DRG severity for that release.

Named in the grouper logic of 3 MS-DRGs: DRG 190 (MDC 04), DRG 191 (MDC 04), DRG 192 (MDC 04).

From the CMS MS-DRG Definitions Manual (Appendices B and C). Actual DRG assignment depends on the complete claim.
