About coding lung massive collapse
The ICD-10-CM code for lung massive collapse is J98.19 (Other pulmonary collapse). The official index lists 4 more specific codes, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on J98.19.
Within J98.1, choose J98.19 (Other pulmonary collapse) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: atelectasis (J98.11).
Use an additional code to identify: exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (Z77.22), exposure to tobacco smoke in the perinatal period (P96.81), history of tobacco dependence (Z87.891), occupational exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (Z57.31), tobacco dependence (F17.-) and 1 more.
As a secondary diagnosis it is a CC (complication or comorbidity), which can move an inpatient stay into the "with CC" MS-DRG of its family, unless the principal diagnosis excludes it.
