Bronchiectasis with acute lower respiratory infection

Diseases of the Respiratory System·Bronchiectasis·subcategory·FY 2027

Bronchial Disorders: When you breathe in, the air travels down through your trachea (windpipe). It then goes through two tubes to your lungs. These tubes are your bronchi. Bronchial disorders can make it hard for you to breathe.

If you are coding one of these, its note tells you to add J47.0 too (Code Also, Use Additional Code), code it first (Code First), or not use it together (Excludes1).
