About F06ZDMZ
F06ZDMZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a speech treatment procedure on the none using a swallowing dysfunction approach with augmentative / alternative communication (qualifier: none). In ICD-10-PCS, speech treatment means application of techniques to improve, augment, or compensate for speech and related functional impairment.
In plain terms, this corresponds to rehabilitation, not elsewhere classified, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (93.89).
The same procedure with a different approach is coded F06Z0MZ (nonspoken language), F06Z3MZ (aphasia), F06Z5MZ (aural rehabilitation), F06Z6MZ (communicative/cognitive integration skills) and F06ZBMZ (receptive/expressive language).
With a different device, use F06ZDTZ (aerodynamic function), F06ZDVZ (speech prosthesis), F06ZDYZ (other equipment) and F06ZDZZ (none).
It is a non-O.R. procedure that is part of the MS-DRG logic for DRG 945 (Rehabilitation with CC/MCC) and DRG 946 (Rehabilitation without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Rehabilitation”.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
