ICD-10-PCS 6A0 Extracorporeal or Systemic Therapies: Physiological Systems Atmospheric Control
The ICD-10-PCS root operation Atmospheric Control (code 6A0) involves regulating or altering the atmospheric conditions for a physiological system. This is categorized under the section for Extracorporeal or Systemic Therapies, reflecting treatments performed outside the body or system-wide.
Atmospheric Control is typically used to manage the environment affecting a body system, ensuring optimal conditions for therapy or patient support. Examples include controls that adjust the air composition, pressure, or other atmospheric parameters essential to therapeutic procedures. The listed codes specify whether the therapy is directed at a Single atmospheric condition (6A0Z0ZZ) or involves Multiple atmospheric factors simultaneously (6A0Z1ZZ). Proper use of these codes accurately documents treatments that maintain or modify atmospheric factors critical to extracorporeal or systemic physiological management.
List of ICD-10-PCS codes used to specify 6A0 - Atmospheric Control (extracorporeal control of atmospheric pressure and composition). There are a total of 3 procedure codes in this section.
