The new codes are for describing the infusion of tixagevimab and cilgavimab monoclonal antibody (code XW023X7), and the infusion of other new technology monoclonal antibody (code XW023Y7).
Why ICD-10 codes are important
The ICD-10-CM (International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification) is a system used by physicians and other healthcare providers to classify and code all diagnoses, symptoms and procedures recorded in conjunction with hospital care in the United States.
ICD Codes are listed on subsequent page(s) of this document. 85651, 85652 Sedimentation Rate, Erythrocyte Coverage Indications, Limitations, and/or Medical Necessity The erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) is a sensitive but nonspecific test that is frequently the earliest indicator of disease when other chemical or physical signs are normal.

ICD-10-CM Code for Spondylolisthesis, lumbar region M43. 16.
Anterolisthesis is a spine condition in which the upper vertebral body, the drum-shaped area in front of each vertebrae, slips forward onto the vertebra below. The amount of slippage is graded on a scale from 1 to 4. Grade 1 is mild (less than 25% slippage), while grade 4 is severe (greater than 75% slippage).

Anterolisthesis can often result from trauma due to sudden blunt force or fractures, perhaps from an accident or fall. The condition may also develop over time through strenuous physical exercise, such as bodybuilding. A bone abnormality at birth may also cause the spine to slip forward.
In spondylolisthesis, one of the bones in your spine — called a vertebra — slips forward and out of place. This may occur anywhere along the spine, but is most common in the lower back (lumbar spine). In some people, this causes no symptoms at all. Others may have back and leg pain that ranges from mild to severe.
The L4 and L5 are the two lowest vertebrae of the lumbar spine. Together with the intervertebral disc, joints, nerves, and soft tissues, the L4-L5 spinal motion segment provides a variety of functions, including supporting the upper body and allowing trunk motion in multiple directions.
Anterolisthesis: The forward positioning of one spinal vertebra in relation to the adjacent vertebra beneath it. Anterolisthesis can be graded: Grade 1 is less than 25% slippage, grade 2 between 25%-50% slippage, grade 3 between 50%-75% slippage, and grade 4 greater than 75% slippage.
The symptoms of anterolisthesis will depend on the amount of slippage and the part of the spine where the slippage occurred. Anterolisthesis can cause constant and severe localized pain, or it can develop and worsen over time.
5 – Low Back Pain. ICD-Code M54. 5 is a billable ICD-10 code used for healthcare diagnosis reimbursement of chronic low back pain.
Other intervertebral disc displacement, lumbar region M51. 26 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM M51. 26 became effective on October 1, 2021.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM Q76. 49 became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of Q76.
