In ICD-10-CM, a primary code from chapter 10 (Diseases of the Respiratory System) is indicated. Some respiratory or pulmonary conditions may qualify for inhalation (aerosol generator, nebulizer, metered dose inhaler, or intermittent positive pressure breathing) treatment coding, such as: Asthma (ICD-9-CM 493.90, ICD-10-CM J45.-)
These codes are only reasonable and necessary when used in a large volume nebulizer (A7007, A7017, or E0585). Albuterol, levalbuterol, and metaproterenol are all short-acting bronchodilators with beta-adrenergic stimulatory effect. It is not reasonable and necessary for a beneficiary to use more than one of these at a time.
HCPCS code J7620 is used for an FDA-approved combination of albuterol and ipratropium which contains 3.0 mg of albuterol sulfate (which is 2.5 mg of albuterol base) and 0.5 mg of ipratropium bromide in each unit dose vial. For these products, 1 unit of service of J7620 equals 1 unit dose vial.

A chronic respiratory disease manifested as difficulty breathing due to the narrowing of bronchial passageways. A form of bronchial disorder with three distinct components: airway hyper-responsiveness (respiratory hypersensitivity), airway inflammation, and intermittent airway obstruction.
It is characterized by spasmodic contraction of airway smooth muscle, wheezing, and dyspnea (dyspnea, paroxysmal). Asthma is a chronic disease that affects your airways. Your airways are tubes that carry air in and out of your lungs. If you have asthma, the inside walls of your airways become sore and swollen.
Symptoms include wheezing, coughing, tightness in the chest, shortness of breath, and rapid breathing. An attack may be brought on by pet hair, dust, smoke, pollen, mold, exercise, cold air, or stress. A chronic respiratory disease manifested as difficulty breathing due to the narrowing of bronchial passageways.

For any item to be covered by Medicare, it must 1) be eligible for a defined Medicare benefit category, 2) be reasonable and necessary for the diagnosis or treatment of illness or injury or to improve the functioning of a malformed body member, and 3) meet all other applicable Medicare statutory and regulatory requirements. The purpose of a Local Coverage Determination (LCD) is to provide information regarding “reasonable and necessary” criteria based on Social Security Act § 1862 (a) (1) (A) provisions. In addition to the “reasonable and necessary” criteria contained in this LCD there are other payment rules, which are discussed in the following documents, that must also be met prior to Medicare reimbursement:.

The presence of an ICD-10 code listed in this section is not sufficient by itself to assure coverage. Refer to the LCD section on “ Coverage Indications, Limitations, and/or Medical Necessity ” for other coverage criteria and payment information. For HCPCS codes A4619, E0565, E0572:
For the specific HCPCS codes indicated above, all ICD-10 codes that are not specified in the previous section.
Contractors may specify Bill Types to help providers identify those Bill Types typically used to report this service. Absence of a Bill Type does not guarantee that the article does not apply to that Bill Type.
Contractors may specify Revenue Codes to help providers identify those Revenue Codes typically used to report this service. In most instances Revenue Codes are purely advisory. Unless specified in the article, services reported under other Revenue Codes are equally subject to this coverage determination.
For instance, J7620 describes albuterol and ipratropium, with unit dosages of 2.5 mg and 0.5 mg, respectively. Code J7620 is often called a “DuoNeb” because the nebulizing product is a combination of two medication agents. For higher doses, if supported by medical necessity, you may report J7620 x 2 (or more).
Even a persistent cough with no definitive diagnosis may justify a separately billable O2Sat. Based on the results of the O2Sat, the physician may decide the patient warrants further (possibly immediate) services, such as inhalation treatment.
When the medication and mask are provided in the doctor’s office, there is no charge for the use of the nebulizing machinery (e.g., E0570 Nebulizer, with compressor) because this is rolled into the visit. For example, a patient with coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath arrives at the emergency room (ER).
