About 5A09C5K

5A09C5K is the ICD-10-PCS code for a assistance procedure on the respiratory using a 8-24 consecutive hours approach with ventilation (qualifier: intubated prone positioning). In ICD-10-PCS, assistance means taking over a portion of a physiological function by extracorporeal means.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 5A09B5K (less than 8 consecutive hours) and 5A09D5K (greater than 24 consecutive hours).

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

It was added in FY2024, effective October 1, 2023.
