The question is what other code would you use? If the payient is currently stable and no other issue other than the vent dependence is being monitored.
E0465 - HOME VENTILATOR, ANY TYPE, USED WITH INVASIVE INTERFACE, (E.G., TRACHEOSTOMY TUBE) E0466 - HOME VENTILATOR, ANY TYPE, USED WITH NON-INVASIVE INTERFACE, (E.G., MASK, CHEST SHELL) In addition, for claims with DOS on or after January 1, 2019, the following ventilator code is eligible for Medicare billing:
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.
Z99.11ICD-10 code Z99. 11 for Dependence on respirator [ventilator] status is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Factors influencing health status and contact with health services .
Dependence on respirator [ventilator] status Z99. 11 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
Persons encountering health services in other specified circumstancesZ76. 89 is a valid ICD-10-CM diagnosis code meaning 'Persons encountering health services in other specified circumstances'. It is also suitable for: Persons encountering health services NOS.
The two main types of mechanical ventilation include positive pressure ventilation where air is pushed into the lungs through the airways, and negative pressure ventilation where air is pulled into the lungs.
Failed or difficult intubation, subsequent encounter T88. 4XXD is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM T88. 4XXD became effective on October 1, 2021.

In such case, if the rule/condition is confirmed in the final impression we can code it as Primary dx, but if the rule/out condition is not confirmed then we have to report suspected or rule/out diagnosis ICD 10 code Z03. 89 as primary dx.

This means that products currently classified as HCPCS code E0465, E0466 or E0467 when used to provide CPAP or bi-level PAP (with or without backup rate) therapy, regardless of the underlying medical condition, may not be paid in the FSS payment category.
Ventilator technology has evolved to the point where it is possible to have a single device capable of operating in numerous modes, from basic continuous positive pressure ( CPAP and bi-level PAP) to traditional pressure and volume ventilator modes. Similarly, the product coded E0467 adds capabilities beyond these ventilator modes to incorporate the functionality of suction, oxygen concentrator, nebulizer, and cough stimulation. This creates the possibility that one piece of equipment may be able to replace numerous and different pieces of equipment. Equipment with multifunction capability creates the possibility of errors in claims submitted for these items. This article will discuss the application of Medicare proper coding and payment rules for ventilators.
FSS items are those for which there must be frequent and substantial servicing to avoid risk to the patient's health (Social Security Act §1834 (a) (3) (A)).
Items may only be covered based upon the reasonable and necessary (R&N) criteria applicable to the product. The CMS National Coverage Determination Manual, Internet-Only Manual (IOM), Publication 100-3, Chapter 1, Part 4, Section 280.1 stipulates that ventilators are covered for the following conditions:
Although the use of a ventilator to treat any of the conditions contained in the PAP or RAD LCD s is considered "more than is medically necessary", the upgrade billing provisions may not be used to provide a ventilator for conditions described in the PAP or RAD LCD s.
