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).

How ICD-10 codes are structuredFirst three characters: General category,Fourth character (to the right of the decimal): The type of injury,Fifth character: Which finger was injured,Sixth character: Which hand was injured,Seventh character: The type of encounter (A, D, or S) as discussed above.
Y99. 9 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
The code for the most serious injury, as determined by the provider and the focus of treatment, is sequenced first. Superficial Injuries- Superficial injuries such as abrasions or contusions are not coded when associated with more severe injuries of the same site.
According to the ICD-10-CM Manual guidelines, a sequela (7th character "S") code cannot be listed as the primary, first listed, or principal diagnosis on a claim, nor can it be the only diagnosis on a claim.
V00-Y99External causes of morbidity ICD-10-CM Code range V00-Y99 The ICD-10 code range for External causes of morbidity V00-Y99 is medical classification list by the World Health Organization (WHO).
External cause codes identify the cause of an injury or health condition, the intent (accidental or intentional), the place where the incident occurred, the activity of the patient at the time of the incident, and the patient's status (such as civilian or military).
For aftercare of an injury, coders should assign the acute injury code with the appropriate seventh character "D" (or expanded choices for fractures) for subsequent encounter. This change will be significant for those post-acute settings that provide subsequent care for injuries.
The 7th character “S” identifies the injury responsible for the sequela. The specific type of sequela (e.g. scar) is sequenced first, followed by the injury code. When coding injuries, assign separate codes for each injury unless a combination code is provided, in which case the combination code is assigned.
The primary diagnosis should be listed first. Other supporting diagnoses are considered secondary and should be listed after your primary diagnosis. In today's medical parlance, Primary diagnosis is now termed as first-listed diagnosis.
In the inpatient setting, the primary diagnosis describes the diagnosis that was the most serious and/or resource-intensive during the hospitalization or the inpatient encounter. Typically, the primary diagnosis and the principal diagnosis are the same diagnosis, but this is not necessarily always so.
PRIMARY DIAGNOSIS (ICD) is the same as attribute CLINICAL CLASSIFICATION CODE. PRIMARY DIAGNOSIS (ICD) is the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) code used to identify the PRIMARY DIAGNOSIS. PRIMARY DIAGNOSIS (ICD) is used by the Secondary Uses Service to derive the Healthcare Resource Group 4 .
That code is I10, Essential (primary) hypertension. As in ICD-9, this code includes “high blood pressure” but does not include elevated blood pressure without a diagnosis of hypertension (that would be ICD-10 code R03. 0).
The guidelines are the same for burns and corrosions. Current burns (T20–T25) are classified by depth, extent, and agent (X code). Burns are classified by depth as first degree (erythema), second degree (blistering), and third degree (full-thickness involvement).
Codes in categories T36–T65 are combination codes that include substances related to adverse effects, poisonings, toxic effects, and underdosing, as well as the external cause. No additional external cause code is required for poisonings, toxic effects, adverse effects, and underdosing codes.
ICD-10-CM provides greater specificity in coding injuries than ICD-9-CM. While many of the coding guidelines for injuries remain the same as ICD-9-CM, ICD-10-CM does include some new features, such as seventh characters.

Clinical Information. An injury is damage to your body. It is a general term that refers to harm caused by accidents, falls, blows, burns, weapons and more. In the United States, millions of people injure themselves every year.
Use secondary code (s) from Chapter 20, External causes of morbidity, to indicate cause of injury. Codes within the T section that include the external cause do not require an additional external cause code. Type 1 Excludes. birth trauma ( P10-P15) obstetric trauma ( O70 - O71)
The primary injury is sequenced first, with additional codes for injuries to nerves and spinal cord (for example, category S04) and/or injury to blood vessels (for example, category S15). Only if the primary injury is to nerves or blood vessels should this injury be sequenced first.
It is suggested that secondary code (s) from Chapter 20, External Causes of Morbidity, be used to indicate the cause of injury. Codes within the T section of Chapter 19 that already specify an external cause do not require an additional external code from Chapter 20 to specify the cause.
Therefore, errors made in drug prescriptions and overdose of drug taken intentionally would both be coded as poisoning. In addition, manifestations of interactions between non-prescribed drugs taken in combination with prescribed drugs are also coded as poisoning, as are interactions of alcohol and prescribed drugs.
Thermal burns from heat sources like fires or hot appliances and burns resulting from electricity and radiation are included in the burn codes, but sunburn is excluded . Separate codes are to be assigned for each burn site. Current burns (T20-T25) are classified based on depth, extent, and agent (X code). Burns of the eye and internal organs (T26-T28) are classified based on site, not degree. Burns resulting from chemicals are categorized as corrosions.
