ICD-10-PCS 6A3 Extracorporeal or Systemic Therapies: Physiological Systems Hyperthermia
The ICD-10-PCS root operation Hyperthermia (code starting with 6A3) refers to a therapeutic procedure where body temperature is artificially raised to treat medical conditions. It belongs to the Extracorporeal or Systemic Therapies section and targets whole physiological systems rather than localized organs.
This systemic therapy involves controlled elevation of core body temperature to enhance treatment efficacy, often used in cancer or infection management. The coding distinctions include Hyperthermia, Single (6A3Z0ZZ), indicating one session or target area, and Hyperthermia, Multiple (6A3Z1ZZ), for repeated or multi-site treatments. These ICD-10-PCS codes aid in documenting the delivery of hyperthermic therapy and capturing its systemic nature accurately within patient records and billing processes.
