Monitoring of Lower GI Oxygen Saturation, Via Natural or Artificial Opening Endoscopic, New Technology Group 7 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code
In healthcare, diagnosis codes are used as a tool to group and identify diseases, disorders, symptoms, poisonings, adverse effects of drugs & chemicals, injuries and other reasons for patient encounters. Diagnostic coding is the translation of written descriptions of diseases, illnesses and injuries into codes from a particular classification.
Hypoxemia is an abnormally low level of oxygen in the blood. More specifically, it is oxygen deficiency in arterial blood. Hypoxemia has many causes, often respiratory disorders, and can cause tissue hypoxia as the blood is not supplying enough oxygen to the body.

Suffocation due to systemic oxygen deficiency due to low oxygen content in ambient air. ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code T71.20XA [convert to ICD-9-CM] Asphyxiation due to systemic oxygen deficiency due to low oxygen content in ambient air due to unspecified cause, initial encounter.
A measurement of arterial oxygen saturation obtained by ear or pulse oximetry, however, is also acceptable when ordered and evaluated by the attending physician and performed under his or her supervision or when performed by a qualified provider or supplier of laboratory services.
A. General. Medicare coverage of home oxygen and oxygen equipment under the durable medical equipment (DME) benefit (see §1861 (s) (6) of the Social Security Act) is considered reasonable and necessary only for patients with significant hypoxemia who meet the medical documentation, laboratory evidence, and health conditions specified in subsections ...
Respiratory therapists' services are not covered under the provisions for coverage of oxygen services under the Part B DME benefit as outlined above. This benefit provides for coveravge of home use of oxygen and oxygen equipment, but does not include a professional component in the delivery of such services.
Initial claims for oxygen services must include a completed span Form CMS-484 (Certificate of Medical Necessity: Oxygen) to establish whether coverage criteria are met and to ensure that the oxygen services provided are consistent with the physician's prescription or other medical documentation. The treating physician's prescription or other medical documentation must indicate that other forms of treatment (e.g., medical and physical therapy directed at secretions, bronchospasm and infection) have been tried, have not been sufficiently successful, and oxygen therapy is still required. While there is no substitute for oxygen therapy, each patient must receive optimum therapy before long-term home oxygen therapy is ordered. Use Form CMS-484 for recertifications. (See the Medicare Program Integrity Manual, Chapter 5, for completion of Form CMS-484.)
The term lung disease refers to many disorders affecting the lungs, such as asthma, COPD, infections like influenza, pneumonia and tuberculosis, lung cancer, and many other breathing problems. Some lung diseases can lead to respiratory failure. Dept. of Health and Human Services Office on Women's Health.
The cells in your body need oxygen to work and grow. During a normal day, you breathe nearly 25,000 times. People with lung disease have difficulty breathing.
Medicare will allow payment for oximetry when accompanied by an appropriate ICD-9-CM code for a pulmonary disease (s) which is commonly associated with oxygen desaturation. Routine use of oximetry is non-covered. Medically necessary reasons for pulse oximetry include:
In outpatient or home management for patients with chronic cardiopulmonary problems, oximetric determinations once or twice a year are considered reasonable. In all instances, there must be a documented request by a physician/non-physician provider in the medical record for these services. Regular or routine testing will not be allowed for reimbursement. In all circumstances, testing would be expected to be useful in the continued management of a patient, particularly in acute exacerbations or unstable conditions (e.g., acute bronchitis in a patient with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)) where increased frequency of testing would be considered, on an individual consideration basis, for coverage purposes.
Appropriate, including the duration and frequency that is considered appropriate for the service, in terms of whether it is: Furnished in accordance with accepted standards of medical practice for the diagnosis or treatment of the patient’s condition or to improve the function of a malformed body member.
Furnished in accordance with accepted standards of medical practice for the diagnosis or treatment of the patient’s condition or to improve the function of a malformed body member. Furnished in a setting appropriate to the patient’s medical needs and condition. Ordered and furnished by qualified personnel.
