This is the American ICD-10-CM version of Z99.11 - other international versions of ICD-10 Z99.11 may differ. Z codes represent reasons for encounters.
Coding Endotracheal Intubation. A patient with respiratory failure may require endotracheal intubation (31500 Intubation, endotracheal, emergency procedure) for airway support. Patients with clinical conditions such as drug overdose, sepsis, and some neurological conditions also may require intubation for airway protection.

An endotracheal tube is an example of an artificial airway. A tracheostomy is another type of artificial airway. The word intubation means to "insert a tube". Usually, the word intubation is used in reference to the insertion of an endotracheal tube (Image 1).

CPT provides a single code to report endotracheal intubation – 31500. Per CPT and National Correct Coding Initiative (NCCI) guidelines, 31500 describes an emergency endotracheal intubation and should not be reported for elective endotracheal intubation.
31500Services such as endotracheal intubation (CPT code 31500) and the insertion and placement of a flow directed catheter e.g., Swan-Ganz (CPT code 93503) ), A-line placement (36620), CVP placement (36556) are not bundled into the critical care codes.
CPT code 31500 describes an emergency endotracheal intubation procedure and shall not be reported when an elective intubation is performed.

A tracheostomy is a surgically created hole (stoma) in your windpipe (trachea) that provides an alternative airway for breathing. A tracheostomy tube is inserted through the hole and secured in place with a strap around your neck.
In its simplest form, the endotracheal tube is a tube constructed of polyvinyl chloride that is placed between the vocal cords through the trachea. It serves to provide oxygen and inhaled gases to the lungs and protects the lungs from contamination, such as gastric contents or blood.

31600Tracheostomy. Code 31600 Tracheostomy, planned (separate procedure) describes a planned tracheostomy; however, if the patient is under 2 years of age, 31601 should be used. Code 31600 is reported for “percutaneous” tracheostomy as well. This procedure can be performed with or without a bronchoscope.
Status code categories V46. 1 (ICD‐9, HCC 82) and Z99. 1 (ICD‐10, HCC 82) are for use when the patient is dependent on respirator (ventilator). This code category also includes weaning from a mechanical ventilator and encounters for respiratory (ventilator) dependence during power failure.
Failed or difficult intubation 1 T88.4 should not be used for reimbursement purposes as there are multiple codes below it that contain a greater level of detail. 2 The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM T88.4 became effective on October 1, 2020. 3 This is the American ICD-10-CM version of T88.4 - other international versions of ICD-10 T88.4 may differ.
Use secondary code (s) from Chapter 20, External causes of morbidity, to indicate cause of injury. Codes within the T section that include the external cause do not require an additional external cause code. Type 1 Excludes.
CPT® provides a single code to report endotracheal intubation—31500 Intubation, endotracheal, emergency procedure —but application of this code isn’t always straightforward. Per CPT® and National Correct Coding Initiative (NCCI) guidelines, 31500 describes an emergency endotracheal intubation and should not be reported for elective endotracheal intubation. CPT Assistant (Dec. 2009) clarifies, “Code 31500 … should be reported for a stand-alone emergent or semi-emergent endotracheal intubation, such as rapid sequence intubation either using a rigid or flexible type of endoscope (ie, laryngoscope, bronchoscope).” There is no CPT® code for elective endotracheal intubation.#N#Additional points to keep in mind when considering 31500 include: 1 Do not separately report 31500 with any anesthesia procedure. NCCI guidelines confirm, “Airway access is necessary for general anesthesia and is not separately reportable.” 2 Endotracheal intubation is bundled in (included in) pediatric and neonatal critical care service codes (99293-99296). 3 Per CPT®, “Visualization of the airway is a component part of an endotracheal intubation, and CPT codes describing procedures that visualize the airway (e.g., nasal endoscopy, laryngoscopy, bronchoscopy) should not be reported with an endotracheal intubation. It is a misuse of diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopy codes to report visualization of the airway for endotracheal intubation.”
Do not separately report 31500 with any anesthesia procedure. NCCI guidelines confirm, “Airway access is necessary for general anesthesia and is not separately reportable.”. Endotracheal intubation is bundled in (included in) pediatric and neonatal critical care service codes (99293-99296).
A patient with respiratory failure may require endotracheal intubation (31500 Intubation, endotracheal, emergency procedure) for airway support. Patients with clinical conditions such as drug overdose, sepsis, and some neurological conditions also may require intubation for airway protection.
There is no additional code for the use of sedation, which may be documented as RSI (rapid sequence induction), or for use of a scope (e.g., Glide scope) for assistance in the placement of the endotracheal tube.
