Explanation:

ICD-10-cm is a set of codes used to identify medical / hospital environment diseases and procedures. The intention of this type of coding is to streamline and universalise health information through the registration of treatments, procedures, equipment, diseases, among other things. In the case of the above question, the ICD-10-cm code for home respiratory therapy services is 99503, while the code for the patient's respiratory insufficiency is J96.10.
