There is no such thing as becoming "dependent on" or "addicted to" supplemental oxygen — everybody needs a constant supply of oxygen to live. If there is not enough oxygen in your bloodstream to supply your tissues and cells, then you need supplemental oxygen to keep your organs and tissues healthy.
ICD-9-CM is the official system of assigning codes to diagnoses and procedures associated with hospital utilization in the United States. The ICD-9 was used to code and classify mortality data from death certificates until 1999, when use of ICD-10 for mortality coding started.
SpO2 = 89% and qualifying secondary diagnosis, or SpO2 ≤88% for at least 5 cumulative minutes during a minimum 2 hour recording time, taken during sleep (nocturnal, stationary oxygen qualification only).

If you have a chronic problem, you may have a portable oxygen tank or a machine in your home. A different kind of oxygen therapy is called hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is a different type of oxygen therapy. It involves breathing oxygen in a pressurized chamber or tube. This allows your lungs to gather up to three times more oxygen than you would get by breathing oxygen at normal air pressure. The extra oxygen moves through your blood and to your organs and body tissues. HBOT is used to treat certain serious wounds, burns, injuries, and infections. It also treats air or gas embolisms (bubbles of air in your bloodstream), decompression sickness suffered by divers, and carbon monoxide poisoning.
The following clinical terms are approximate synonyms or lay terms that might be used to identify the correct diagnosis code: 1 Dependence on continuous supplemental oxygen 2 Dependence on nocturnal oxygen therapy 3 Dependence on supplemental oxygen 4 Dependence on supplemental oxygen when ambulating 5 Equipment in use 6 Home oxygen supply 7 Home oxygen supply started 8 Patient on oxygen 9 Requires continuous home oxygen supply 10 Requires oxygen therapy during exercise
Some use tanks of liquid or gas oxygen. Others use an oxygen concentrator, which pulls oxygen out of the air. You will get the oxygen through a nose tube (cannula), a mask, or a tent. The extra oxygen is breathed in along with normal air.
The Medicare Code Editor (MCE) detects and reports errors in the coding of claims data. The following ICD-10 Code Edits are applicable to this code:
FY 2016 - New Code, effective from 10/1/2015 through 9/30/2016 (First year ICD-10-CM implemented into the HIPAA code set)
The International Classification of Disease (ICD)-10 code sets provide flexibility to accommodate future health care needs, facilitating timely electronic processing of claims by reducing requests for additional information to providers. ICD-10 also includes significant improvements over ICD-9 in coding primary care encounters, external causes of injury, mental disorders, and preventive health. The ICD-10 code sets' breadth and granularity reflect advances in medicine and medical technology, as well as capture added detail on socioeconomics, ambulatory care conditions, problems related to lifestyle, and the results of screening tests.
All Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) ICD-10 system changes have been phased-in and are scheduled for completion by October 1, 2014, giving a full year for additional testing, fine-tuning, and preparation prior to full implementation of ICD-10 CM/PCS for all Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)-covered entities. ICD-10-CM/PCS will replace ICD-9-CM/PCS diagnosis and procedure codes in all health care settings for dates of service, or dates of discharge for inpatients, that occur on or after the implementation date of ICD-10.

CPT®codes 94760, 94761, and 94762 are included in the critical care services listed in Group 2: Codes. These codes will not be paid separately when billed with a critical care code.
Payment for CPT®code 31720 may be allowed, on an individual consideration basis, for respiratory treatments for three consecutive days or three identical services within a 30-day time frame. Additional payment may be allowed for respiratory therapy treatments exceeding these parameters only if medical necessity can be established by medical documentation. In the case of consecutive days of care, the medical record should indicate why the patient was not transferred to a higher level of care.
CPT®codes 94760, 94761 and 94762 are bundled by the Correct Coding Initiative (CCI) with critical care services. Therefore, CPT®codes 94760, 94761 and 94762 cannot be paid separately when billed with critical care CPT®codes (99291 and 99292).

The appearance of a code in this section does not necessarily indicate coverage.
Oxygen used to treat cluster headaches and for participants in an LTOT Trial is provided under special coverage rules. Reimbursement is only available for beneficiaries who are enrolled in an approved clinical trial. CMS maintains a list of policies that require study participation as a condition of coverage on the CMS web site. For each policy the approved studies are listed and a link provided to the study on the clinicaltrials.gov web site. The clinicaltrials.gov identifier number required on each claim is listed on this site.
Home oxygen is covered only when both the reasonable and necessary criteria discussed below and the statutory criteria discussed in the Policy Article are met. Refer to the Policy Article for additional information on statutory payment policy requirements.
You, your employees and agents are authorized to use CPT only as contained in the following authorized materials of CMS internally within your organization within the United States for the sole use by yourself, employees and agents. Use is limited to use in Medicare, Medicaid or other programs administered by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). You agree to take all necessary steps to insure that your employees and agents abide by the terms of this agreement.
For purposes of coverage under Medicare, hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy is a modality in which the entire body is exposed to oxygen under increased atmospheric pressure.
05/2014 - CMS translated the information for this policy from ICD-9-CM/PCS to ICD-10-CM/PCS according to HIPAA standard medical data code set requirements and updated any necessary and related coding infrastructure. These updates do not expand, restrict, or alter existing coverage policy. Implementation date: 10/06/2014 Effective date: 10/1/2015. ( TN 1388 ) ( TN 1388 ) (CR 8691)
05/2016 - This change request (CR) is the 7th maintenance update of ICD-10 conversions and other coding updates specific to national coverage determinations (NCDs). The majority of the NCDs included are a result of feedback received from previous ICD-10 NCD CR7818, CR8109, CR8197, CR8691, CR9087, CR9252, and CR9540. Some are the result of revisions required to other NCD-related CRs released separately. Edits to ICD-10 and other coding updates specific to NCDs will be included in subsequent, quarterly releases as needed. No policy-related changes are included with these updates. Any policy-related changes to NCDs continue to be implemented via the current, long-standing NCD process. ( TN 1665 ) (CR9631)
Acute traumatic peripheral ischemia. HBO therapy is a valuable adjunctive treatment to be used in combination with accepted standard therapeutic measures when loss of function, limb, or life is threatened.
Acute thermal and chemical pulmonary damage, i.e., smoke inhalation with pulmonary insufficiency.
Program reimbursement for HBO therapy will be limited to that which is administered in a chamber (including the one man unit) and is limited to the following conditions:
Section C-Topical Application of Oxygen has been removed from NCD 20.29. Effective for dates of service on and after (04/03/17), Medicare Administrative Contractors (MACs) acting within their respective jurisdictions may determine coverage of topical application of oxygen for chronic non-healing wounds. Cross reference: § 270.5 of this manual.
Coverage of home oxygen therapy requires that the beneficiary be tested in the “chronic stable state” and that all co-existing diseases or conditions that can cause hypoxia must be treated sufficiently. Moreover, the beneficiary must have a severe lung disease, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, diffuse interstitial lung disease, cystic fibrosis, bronchiectasis, widespread pulmonary neoplasm, or hypoxia-related symptoms or findings that might be expected to improve with oxygen therapy.
Until such time as the end date of the RUL of the stationary oxygen equipment is reached , the supplier must continue to furnish both the portable and stationary oxygen equipment.
If both an arterial blood gas and oximetry test have been performed on the same day under the condition reported on the CMN (i.e., at rest/awa ke, during exercise, or during sleep), the ABG PO 2 must be reported on the CMN.
If all of the criteria in the Coverage Indications, Limitations and/or Medical Necessity section have not been met , the GA, GY or GZ modifier must be added to the code. When there is an expectation of a medical necessity denial, suppliers must enter GA modifier on the claim line if they have obtained a properly executed Advance Beneficiary Notice (ABN), a GZ modifier if they have not obtained a valid ABN, or a GY modifier if the item or service is statutorily excluded.
Oxygen and oxygen equipment is covered under the Durable Medical Equipment benefit (Social Security Act §1861 (s) (6)). In order for a beneficiary’s equipment to be eligible for reimbursement the reasonable and necessary (R&N) requirements set out in the related Local Coverage Determination must be met. In addition, there are specific statutory payment policy requirements, discussed below, that also must be met.
A supplier does not have to deliver contents every month in order to bill every month. In order to bill for contents, the supplier must have previously delivered quantities of oxygen that are expected to be sufficient to last for one month following the DOS on the claim. Suppliers should monitor usage of contents. Billing may continue on a monthly basis as long as sufficient supplies remain to last for one month as previously described. If there are insufficient contents to be able to last for a month additional contents should be provided.
