Icd 10 code
Has anyone had to diagnose Transient Aspiration With Desaturation? I am having a difficult time finding anything on this.
re: ICD 10 CODE
Is there a condition it is related to? Such as COPD or Sleep Apnea? You may need to code the underlying condition with one of the codes below.
Consider:
G47.36 - If it is sleep related you may consider G47.36 Sleep-related hypoventilation in conditions classified elsewhere or Sleep-related hypoxemia in conditions classified elsewhere. This will require an underlying condition.
R09.02 Hypoxemia- deficient oxygenation of the blood.
R09.89 - Other specified symptoms and signs involving the circulatory and respiratory systems.
re: ICD 10 CODE
Thank you. I will read the dictation again to see if he mentions an underlying condition. I appreciate your help.
