| ICD-10 from 2011 - 2016

J96.20 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of acute and chronic respiratory failure, unspecified whether with hypoxia or hypercapnia. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.


The ICD code J96 is used to code Hypoxia (medical)

Hypoxia (also known as hypoxiation) is a condition in which the body or a region of the body is deprived of adequate oxygen supply. Hypoxia may be classified as either generalized, affecting the whole body, or local, affecting a region of the body. Although hypoxia is often a pathological condition, variations in arterial oxygen concentrations can be part of the normal physiology, for example, during hypoventilation training or strenuous physical exercise.
