Instead, asthma is just asthma and categorized by its degree of severity. The terms mild, moderate and severe are used in the codes to differentiate the severity levels. The condition is further categorized as either intermittent or persistent. The subcategories are broken down by complication – uncomplicated, with acute exacerbation and with status asthma. In addition to this, there are codes for other and unspecified asthma. The ICD-10 codes for asthma are given below.
