ICD-9-CM procedure code (retired)
93.18 — Breathing exercise
About ICD-9-CM 93.18
93.18 is an ICD-9-CM procedure code for breathing exercise. ICD-9-CM was retired for U.S. claims on October 1, 2015, when ICD-10-PCS took over.
The CMS General Equivalence Mappings translate it to 20 ICD-10-PCS codes, such as F0756BZ (Therapeutic Exercise Treatment of Circulatory System - Upper Back / Upper Extremity using Physical Agents), F0756CZ (Therapeutic Exercise Treatment of Circulatory System - Upper Back / Upper Extremity using Mechanical Equipment) and F0756DZ (Therapeutic Exercise Treatment of Circulatory System - Upper Back / Upper Extremity using Electrotherapeutic Equipment). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
