ICD-10 Code J82.83 – Eosinophilic Asthma (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code J82.83 – Eosinophilic asthma
What it is
J82.83 identifies eosinophilic asthma, a type of asthma associated with eosinophilic airway inflammation. Use it when the record specifically documents eosinophilic asthma rather than asthma alone.
Clinical signs
Clinical features may include recurrent wheeze, cough, chest tightness, and shortness of breath with evidence of eosinophilic inflammation. Check documentation for the specific basis used to identify the eosinophilic phenotype.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider clearly documents eosinophilic asthma as the diagnosis. It may also be appropriate when the note describes asthma with eosinophilic inflammation or an eosinophilic phenotype. If the chart only says asthma, do not assume this code.
Do not use for
Do not use J82.83 for unspecified asthma or other asthma types without eosinophilic documentation. Do not use it for eosinophilia alone or for respiratory symptoms without a confirmed asthma diagnosis.
Coding tip
Code J82.83 only when the provider’s documentation supports eosinophilic asthma; otherwise, query or use the more specific asthma code available.
