The following are USSD codes that I use with my Android OS Mobile:-
What is ICD-10-CM, ICD-10-PCS, CPT, and HCPCS?

ICD-10 code J95. 03 for Malfunction of tracheostomy stoma is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the respiratory system .
0BH17EZInsertion of Endotracheal Airway into Trachea, Via Natural or Artificial Opening. ICD-10-PCS 0BH17EZ is a specific/billable code that can be used to indicate a procedure.
Technique. Tracheostomy tube exchange is swift to minimize changes of stoma collapse and patient discomfort, or time when the patient is left hypoxic. Once the patient is prepared, and the necessary equipment is available and checked for functionality, the procedure may commence.
Breathing is done through the tracheostomy tube rather than through the nose and mouth. The term “tracheotomy” refers to the incision into the trachea (windpipe) that forms a temporary or permanent opening, which is called a “tracheostomy,” however; the terms are sometimes used interchangeably.
When a tube is dislodged, it requires immediate attempts at manual ventilation. The caregiver should perform suctioning with a solution of sodium chloride, which the doctor would explain at the time of performing the tracheostomy. This will rule out a mucus plug and prevent brain damage.
J95.0ICD-10 code J95. 0 for Tracheostomy complications is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the respiratory system .
Tracheostomy tube (TT) malfunction is the source of airway compromise in patients requiring these airway devices. TT malfunction may create an airway emergency, and the timely replacement of TTs is a challenging procedure in the most experienced hands.

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.

43760Replacing a PEG tube CPT code 43760, "Change of gastrostomy tube," should be submitted when this procedure is done by a physician.
The patient is placed supine (flat) on their bed, the tube is removed and the opening into the neck is covered with sterile gauze and a tape is placed over the gauze. The patient is instructed to occlude the gauze with their finger tip every time they cough or speak so that air does not leak.
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.
