Short description: Depend-supplement oxygen. ICD-9-CM V46.2 is a billable medical code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis on a reimbursement claim, however, V46.2 should only be used for claims with a date of service on or before September 30, 2015.
ICD-9-CM V46.2 is a billable medical code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis on a reimbursement claim, however, V46.2 should only be used for claims with a date of service on or before September 30, 2015. For claims with a date of service on or after October 1, 2015, use an equivalent ICD-10-CM code (or codes).
References found for the code V46.2 in the Index of Diseases and Injuries: Oxygen therapy is a treatment that provides you with extra oxygen. Oxygen is a gas that your body needs to function. Normally, your lungs absorb oxygen from the air you breathe.

Categories Z00-Z99 are provided for occasions when circumstances other than a disease, injury or external cause classifiable to categories A00 -Y89 are recorded as 'diagnoses' or 'problems'. This can arise in two main ways:
QA - Prescribed amounts of stationary oxygen for daytime use while at rest and nighttime use differ and the average of the two amounts is less than 1 liter per minute (LPM)
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.
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.
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.
A physician's certification of medical necessity for oxygen equipment must include the results of specific testing before coverage can be determined.
Initial claims for oxygen therapy must also include the results of a blood gas study that has been ordered and evaluated by the attending physician. This is usually in the form of a measurement of the partial pressure of oxygen (PO 2) in arterial blood. (See Medicare Carriers Manual, Part 3, §2070.1 for instructions on clinical laboratory tests.) 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.
NOTE: Section 4152 of OBRA 1990 requires earlier recertification and retesting of oxygen patients who begin coverage with an arterial blood gas result at or above a partial pressure of 55 or an arterial oxygen saturation percentage at or above 89. (See the Medicare Claims Processing Manual , Chapter 20, "Durable Medical Equipment, Prosthetics and Orthotics, and Supplies (DMEPOS)," §100.2.3 for certification and retesting schedules.)
New medical documentation written by the patient's attending physician must be submitted to the A/BMAC (B)in support of revised oxygen requirements when there has been a change in the patient's condition and need for oxygen therapy.
NOTE: A prescription for "Oxygen PRN" or "Oxygen as needed" does not meet this last requirement. Neither provides any basis for determining if the amount of oxygen is reasonable and necessary for the patient.
Angina pectoris in the absence of hypoxemia. This condition is generally not the result of a low oxygen level in the blood, and there are other preferred treatments;
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 B, C, and D. This section also includes special coverage criteria for portable oxygen systems. Finally, a statement on the absence of coverage of the professional services of a respiratory therapist under the DME benefit is included in subsection F.
V46.2 is a legacy non-billable code used to specify a medical diagnosis of other dependence on machines, supplemental oxygen. This code was replaced on September 30, 2015 by its ICD-10 equivalent.
Information for Patients. Oxygen Therapy. Oxygen therapy is a treatment that provides you with extra oxygen. Oxygen is a gas that your body needs to function. Normally, your lungs absorb oxygen from the air you breathe. But some conditions can prevent you from getting enough oxygen. You may need oxygen if you have.
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 .
When an Excludes2 note appears under a code, it is acceptable to use both the code and the excluded code together, when appropriate. Includes Notes - This note appears immediately under a three character code title to further define, or give examples of, the content of the category.
