Asthma, intermittent (mild) in the alphabetic index provides J45.20.

coder should reference for our encounter?
Yes, we should code exposure to tobacco smoke in the perinatal
period (P96.81) since Jane had asthma as a child.
Yes, we should code R06.2 as the excludes1 note mentions
wheezing NOS is coded with another code.

tobacco use.
No, no notations are referenced in our medical record.
