Diagnosis, Equipment, and Drug Codes

One goal we should have is to get a separate ICD code for trigeminovascular headaches. That would go a long way to achieving recognition among health care workers and with insurance companies and government payors. It would also be nice to see psilocybin on the drug list.
These codes are for reference to help with insurance issues:
ICD-9 (International Classification of Diseases)
diagnosis code for Cluster Headache:
346.2 Migraine variant
Alternate Descriptions:
Abdominal migraine
Allergic headache
Allergic migraine
Basilar migraine
Bing-Horton syndrome
Ciliary neuralgia
Cluster headache
Histamine cephalgia
Histamine migraine
Horton's histamine cephalgia
Horton's neuralgia
Lower half migraine
Menstrual migraine headaches
Migraine syndrome
Migrainous neuralgia
Mixed migraine
Periodic migrainous neuralgia
Periodic vascular headache
Retinal migraine
With a fifth digit:
346.20 not noted as intractable.
346.21 intractable.
Common HCPCS (Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System) codes for oxygen:

No, it's not a headache--it's a Stage Ten Primary Chronic Periodic Idiopathic Trigeminovascular Cephalalgic Crisis.

Thomas,
That is exactly what is written on my O2 prescription
ICD-9 346.2
What is the difference between stationary and portable. I am going to get a "J" tank, suppose to be 5' tall. Being that it is being delivered, I'd guess that is portable. What would be considered stationary?
Thanks for the post.
Kevin M
