5A0945BAssistance with Respiratory Ventilation, 24-96 Consecutive Hours, Intermittent Negative Airway Pressure

5A0945B is the ICD-10-PCS code for a assistance procedure on the respiratory using a 24-96 consecutive hours approach with ventilation (qualifier: intermittent negative airway pressure). In ICD-10-PCS, assistance means taking over a portion of a physiological function by extracorporeal means.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other respiratory procedures, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (93.99).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 5A0935B (less than 24 consecutive hours) and 5A0955B (greater than 96 consecutive hours).

It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.

It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
