Under normal circumstances, you would need more specific information on the patient's Asthma type in order to report a valid and complete ICD-9-CM diagnosis code. The specifics of the condition should be provided by the healthcare provider; if not, you would query (question or inquire) with him or her.

Otherwise, unspecified asthma would be 493.9 however, a 5th digit is ALWAYS required to complete the diagnosis indicating other conditional factors.
