There are different codes for the different types of Asthma, but the question does not specify which type. Therefore, the ICD-9-CM diagnosis code would be:

Asthma, unspecified: 493.90

There is no combination code for steroid dependent asthma, so this would require two diagnosis codes to describe: 493.90 + V58.65, Long term (current) use of steroids.

What medical code is used to report asthma as a condition on a medical claim?

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.
