Code 31600 Tracheostomy, planned (separate procedure) describes a planned tracheostomy; however, if the patient is under two years of age, turn to 31601 Tracheostomy, planned (separate procedure); younger than 2 years. Planned tracheostomy frequently occurs after a patient has been intubated for a long period, or requires long-term ventilatory ...
Providers perform emergency tracheostomies when a patient’s airway is so compromised that it may obstruct her or his breathing at any moment. For example, if a patient presents with wheezing, which is quickly progressing to upper–airway obstruction, the provider may perform a tracheostomy.
Be sure to differentiate tracheostomy from tracheotomy: A tracheotomy is used to describe a temporary opening into the trachea, while a tracheostomy signifies a permanent opening or access to the trachea.
Tracheostomy is an incision into the trachea to maintain a patient’s airway, and either may be scheduled or performed on an emergency basis. Be sure to differentiate tracheostomy from tracheotomy: A tracheotomy is used to describe a temporary opening into the trachea, while a tracheostomy signifies a permanent opening ...

Therapeutic procedures whose principle aim is to treat a respiratory impairment should be identified using the G0237-G0239 series of HCPCS codes. CPT® codes 97000 to 97799 are not to be billed by professionals involved in treating respiratory conditions, unless these services are delivered by physical or occupational therapists and meet the other requirements for physical and occupational therapy services.

The T-tube may be used by some patients in need of oxygen therapy. Oxygen can be delivered directly through the tracheostomy via a T-tube or a tracheal mask placed directly to the stoma. Mechanical ventilation delivered via a tracheal tube directly into the stoma would be coded as mechanical ventilation.
4Q2014: [trach mask question] Oxygen delivered via a tracheal mask is not mechanical ventilation. It is a method to provide supplemental oxygen. A tracheostomy tube (T-tube) fits inside the stoma and is secured by a harness to the neck. The T-tube may be used by some patients in need of oxygen therapy. Oxygen can be delivered directly through the tracheostomy via a T-tube or a tracheal mask placed directly to the stoma. Mechanical ventilation delivered via a tracheal tube directly into the stoma would be coded as mechanical ventilation.
The purpose of this document is to provide Respiratory Therapy Departments with information on the relationship between Respiratory Department coding and billing and hospital reimbursement for noninvasive mechanical ventilation and other respiratory support modalities delivered in the inpatient hospital and outpatient emergency department settings.
There is no reimbursement advantage to the hospital for the use of any particular method of non-invasive mechanical respiratory support in the Emergency Department or other hospital outpatient setting.
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).
For a metal tracheostomy tube, if you have a Jackson Improved Inner Cannula in a size 4, 5, or 6, the PMV ® 2020 (Clear) with PMA ® 2020-S Adapter can be used. If you do not have a Jackson Improved Inner Cannula, call 1-800-634-5397 and ask to speak with a Passy Muir Clinical Specialist for assistance.
Some plastic tracheostomy tubes come in a low-profile model. If you have a low-profile model, it usually comes with a second inner cannula that has a 15mm hub. Remove the low-profile inner cannula and replace it with the inner cannula that has the 15mm hub.
Placement of the Valve redirects exhalation through the upper airway, restoring sensation, and stimulating a cough. Coughing may continue until the secretions have settled, or have moved into a position that will allow you to remove them. This is beneficial as you now have a more effective secretion clearing mechanism in place with the Valve on.
If you are having trouble breathing with the Valve in place, remove the Valve immediately. The following are several things you should consider before trying to put the Valve back on again:
If the Valve is inadvertently used during a medicated treatment, it should be removed immediately and washed according to the cleaning instructions.
Secretions may have built up in the tracheostomy tube. If excess secretions are not removed, breathing can become more difficult and make you uncomfortable. Check the amount and type of secretions coming from the tracheostomy tube.
If you notice that the air seems to slowly leak out of the cuff of your tracheostomy tube, it may mean that the cuff does not stay completely deflated either. You should have your tube evaluated and replaced as soon as possible by your doctor or healthcare professional.
Assign code 93.90, Continuous positive airway pressure [CPAP], for the BiPAP run through the tracheostomy. BiPAP involves assisted ventilatory support, which is designed to augment a patient's ability to breath on a spontaneous basis.
