ICD-10-PCS will be the official system of assigning codes to procedures associated with hospital utilization in the United States. ICD-10-PCS codes will support data collection, payment and electronic health records. ICD-10-PCS is a medical classification coding system for procedural codes.

The main differences between ICD-10 PCS and ICD-10-CM include the following: ICD-10-PCS is used only for inpatient, hospital settings in the U.S., while ICD-10-CM is used in clinical and outpatient settings in the U.S. ICD-10-PCS has about 87,000 available codes while ICD-10-CM has about 68,000.

CPT codes refer to the treatment being given, while ICD codes refer to the problem that the treatment is aiming to resolve. The two work hand-in-hand to quickly provide payors specific information about what service was performed (the CPT code) and why (the ICD code).
5A0935A replaces the following previously assigned ICD-10-PCS code (s):
The ICD-10 Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) is a catalog of procedural codes used by medical professionals for hospital inpatient healthcare settings. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) maintain the catalog in the U.S. releasing yearly updates.
The following crosswalk between ICD-10-PCS to ICD-9-PCS is based based on the General Equivalence Mappings (GEMS) information:
The ICD-10 Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) is a catalog of procedural codes used by medical professionals for hospital inpatient healthcare settings. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) maintain the catalog in the U.S. releasing yearly updates.
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.
APC: Ambulatory Payment Classifications (APCs) are the Medicare program’s method for paying for facility outpatient services. APC payments are made to hospitals when the Medicare outpatient is discharged from the Emergency Department or clinic. Medicare assigns each service (identified by CPT code) to an APC based upon clinical and cost similarity, and all services within an APC are paid at the same rate.
An individual requires one type of respiratory assist device (e.g., a negative pressure ventilator with a chest shell) for part of the day and needs a different type of respiratory assiste device (e.g., positive pressure respiratory assist device with a nasal mask) during the rest of the day.
Members should be re-evaluated after 2 to 3 months to evaluate their continued medical necessity for NPPV. For establishment of continued medical necessity beyond 3 months, the medical records should document that the member has been compliantly using the device (an average of 4 hours per 24-hour period), and that the member is benefiting from its use.
Adaptive servo-ventilation (ASV), a bilevel PAP system with a backup rate feature, uses an automatic, minute ventilation-targeted device (VPAP Adapt, ResMed, Poway, CA) that performs breath-to-breath analysis and adjusts its settings accordingly. Depending on breathing effort, the device will automatically adjust the amount of airflow it delivers in order to maintain a steady minute ventilation. Most studies on the use of ASV have investigated its use for heart failure patients with central apnea or Cheyne-Stokes respiration (Teschler et al, 2001; Pepperell et al, 2003; Topfer et al, 2004; Pepin et al, 2006; Kasai et al, 2006; Zhang et al, 2006).
The single breath nitrogen test (SBNT) is a pulmonary function test that provides information on the evenness of distribution of ventilation and on closing volume. The test utilizes resident nitrogen (N 2) in the lung as the tracer gas, and a single inhalation of 100 % oxygen to cause a change in the N 2 concentration in the lungs. It is performed by having the subject breathe air normally through a mouthpiece, and after a single vital capacity inspiration of 100 % O 2, expire slowly and smoothly to residual volume. Expired N 2 concentration is then plotted against expired volume (single breath nitrogen washout curve). From this, information about the distribution of ventilation can be obtained. Similar measurements may be made using other tracer gases such as xenon, argon, or helium.
is defined as an abnormal respiratory event lasting at least 10 seconds associated with at least a 30 % reduction in thoraco-abdominal movement or airflow as compared to baseline, and with at least a 4 % decrease in oxygen saturation.
Clayton and colleagues (2019) noted that initial respiratory support with NPPV or high-flow nasal cannula may prevent the need for invasive mechanical ventilation in pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) patients with bronchiolitis. However, it is unclear if the initial choice of respiratory support modality influences the need for subsequent invasive mechanical ventilation. These researchers compared the rate of subsequent invasive mechanical ventilation after initial support with NPPV or high-flow nasal cannula in children with bronchiolitis. This trial included a total of 92 participating PICUs. Children less than 2 years of age were admitted to a participating PICU between 2009 and 2015 with a diagnosis of bronchiolitis who were prescribed high-flow nasal cannula or NPPV as the initial respiratory treatment modality. Subsequent receipt of invasive mechanical ventilation was the primary outcome. These investigators identified 6,496 participants with a median age 3.9 months (1.7 to 9.5 months); most (59.7 %) were male, and 23.4 % had an identified co-morbidity. After initial support with NPPV or high-flow nasal cannula, 12.3 % of patients subsequently received invasive mechanical ventilation, which was more common in patients initially supported with NPPV compared with high-flow nasal cannula (20.1 % versus 11.0 %: p < 0.001). In a multi-variate logistic regression model that adjusted for age, weight, race, viral etiology, presence of a co-morbid diagnosis, and Pediatric Index of Mortality score, initial support with NPPV was associated with a higher odds of subsequent invasive mechanical ventilation compared with high-flow nasal cannula (OR, 1.53; 95 % CI: 1.24 to 1.88). The authors concluded that in this large, multi-center database study of infants with acute bronchiolitis that received initial respiratory support with high-flow nasal cannula or NPPV, use of the latter was associated with higher rates of invasive mechanical ventilation, even after adjusting for demographics, co-morbid condition, and severity of illness. These investigators stated that a large, prospective, multi-center trial is needed to confirm these findings.
The need for re-intubation after extubation and discontinuation of mechanical ventilation is not uncommon and is associated with increased mortality. Noninvasive positive pressure ventilation has been suggested as a treatment for individuals with respiratory failure following extubation.
