ICD-10-PCS 6A9 Extracorporeal or Systemic Therapies: Physiological Systems Shock Wave Therapy
The ICD-10-PCS root operation Shock Wave Therapy (code 6A9) involves using shock waves as a therapeutic modality, classified under Extracorporeal or Systemic Therapies. This procedure delivers high-energy acoustic pulses to target tissues, promoting healing without invasive surgery.
Shock Wave Therapy is commonly applied to the Musculoskeletal system, where it can be directed at a single site (6A930ZZ) or multiple sites (6A931ZZ). This treatment approach is noninvasive and is employed to stimulate repair and reduce pain in conditions like tendonitis or plantar fasciitis. The ICD-10-PCS coding system clearly identifies these distinctions, helping ensure precise documentation of the therapy’s scope in extracorporeal physiological interventions.
