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).
The ICD-10-CM is a catalog of diagnosis codes used by medical professionals for medical coding and reporting in health care settings. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) maintain the catalog in the U.S. releasing yearly updates.

I65.29 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of occlusion and stenosis of unspecified carotid artery. The code I65.29 is valid during the fiscal year 2022 from October 01, 2021 through September 30, 2022 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.
ICD-10 code I65. 23 for Occlusion and stenosis of bilateral carotid arteries is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the circulatory system .
Carotid artery disease is caused by a buildup of plaques in arteries that deliver blood to your brain. Plaques are clumps of cholesterol, calcium, fibrous tissue and other cellular debris that gather at microscopic injury sites within the artery. This process is called atherosclerosis.
I65. 23 - Occlusion and stenosis of bilateral carotid arteries. ICD-10-CM.
Carotid artery stenosis is a narrowing of the large arteries on either side of the neck. These arteries carry blood to the head, face, and brain. This narrowing is usually the result of a build-up of plaque within the arteries, a condition called atherosclerosis.
There are four carotid arteries, with a pair located on each side of the neck. This includes the right- and left-internal carotid arteries, and the right- and left-external carotid arteries. The carotid arteries deliver oxygen-rich blood from the heart to both the head and brain.
Atherosclerosis is thickening or hardening of the arteries caused by a buildup of plaque in the inner lining of an artery. Risk factors may include high cholesterol and triglyceride levels, high blood pressure, smoking, diabetes, obesity, physical activity, and eating saturated fats.
ICD-10 code R09. 89 for Other specified symptoms and signs involving the circulatory and respiratory systems is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .
Summary. Carotid artery disease is a vague diagnosis and without further clarification from the physician is coded to I77. 9 (Disorder of arteries and arterioles, unspecified) at this time.
Diseases of blood vessels in places other than the heart or brain are called peripheral vascular disease. Most often, the cause is narrowing of the vessels due to a build-up of fatty plaque (atherosclerosis). The main locations are the legs, stomach, kidneys, and neck (carotid) arteries leading to the brain.
In the context of stroke, “stenosis” is usually caused by atherosclerosis, a condition where a blood vessel supplying blood to the brain is narrowed due to fatty deposits, known as plaques, on the vessel's inside wall. Risk factors for this type of stenosis include high blood pressure and high cholesterol.
While coronary artery disease reduces blood flow to the heart and can cause a heart attack, carotid artery disease reduces blood flow in the neck arteries that supply blood to the brain, potentially causing a stroke.
The carotid artery is a central artery which is similar to coronary arteries in anatomical properties and vasomotor control. In this review, we explore whether the carotid artery can be used as a surrogate measure for coronary artery vascular function.
