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).
Used for medical claim reporting in all healthcare settings, ICD-10-CM is a standardized classification system of diagnosis codes that represent conditions and diseases, related health problems, abnormal findings, signs and symptoms, injuries, external causes of injuries and diseases, and social circumstances.
ICD-10-AM codes In the ICD-10-AM, two codes may be used to record NAFLD/NASH: K75. 8 'Other specified inflammatory liver diseases (non-alcoholic steatohepatitis)' and K76. 0 'Fatty (change of) liver, not elsewhere classified (non-alcoholic fatty liver disease)'.
NASH is the form of NAFLD in which you have inflammation of the liver and liver damage, in addition to fat in your liver. The inflammation and liver damage of NASH can cause fibrosis, or scarring, of the liver. NASH may lead to cirrhosis, in which the liver is scarred and permanently damaged.
Health care providers divide fatty liver disease into two types. If you just have fat but no damage to your liver, the disease is called nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). If you have fat in your liver plus signs of inflammation and liver cell damage, the disease is called nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH).
Nonalcoholic steatohepatitisNonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) K75. 81 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 K75. 81 became effective on October 1, 2021.
NAFLD and NASH are both linked to the following: Overweight or obesity. Insulin resistance, in which your cells don't take up sugar in response to the hormone insulin. High blood sugar (hyperglycemia), indicating prediabetes or type 2 diabetes.
The second stage of NAFLD is non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH); This stage occurs when the build-up of fat in the liver cells is accompanied with inflammation. This stage is thought to affect up to 5% of the population in the UK, or 1 in every 20 people.
NASH is a chronic state of liver inflammation that leads to the transformation of hepatic stellate cells to myofibroblasts. These cells produce extra-cellular matrix that results in liver fibrosis. In a normal situation, fibrogenesis is a wound healing process that preserves tissue integrity.
While fatty liver disease and cirrhosis both involve the liver, it's important to note a number of key distinctions. Fatty liver disease is defined by the buildup of fat cells in the liver, but cirrhosis is the formation of scar tissue on top of normal areas of tissue.
ICD-10 code K76. 0 for Fatty (change of) liver, not elsewhere classified is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the digestive system .
Below are some of the ICD-10-CM Diagnosis codes that could potentially be assigned based on provider documentation.Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) – K75.81.Fatty liver, not elsewhere classified – K76.0.Other cirrhosis of liver – K74.69.
ICD-10 code Z94. 4 for Liver transplant status is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Factors influencing health status and contact with health services .

K75.81 is a valid billable ICD-10 diagnosis code for Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) . It is found in the 2021 version of the ICD-10 Clinical Modification (CM) and can be used in all HIPAA-covered transactions from Oct 01, 2020 - Sep 30, 2021 .
DO NOT include the decimal point when electronically filing claims as it may be rejected. Some clearinghouses may remove it for you but to avoid having a rejected claim due to an invalid ICD-10 code, do not include the decimal point when submitting claims electronically. See also:
NASH is called the silent liver disease because most people do not have or notice the signs or symptoms until they are in the more advanced stages. The more advance NASH becomes the more symptoms are noticed or develop. Sometimes the cause of NASH is never known. According to the American Liver Foundation, NASH is one of the leading causes ...
Other cirrhosis of liver – K74.69. The important thing to remember when assigning a code for steatohepatitis and/or cirrhosis is to not automatically assume it is alcohol related. It is important to read the record thoroughly and if in doubt query the provider for clarification of the type of steatohepatitis and/or cirrhosis.
Who can develop NASH? Anyone can develop NASH. NASH is now the most common cause of liver disease in children who are obese. Yes, children are now being diagnosed with chronic liver disease which could lead to them needing a liver transplant.
According to the American Liver Foundation, NASH is one of the leading causes of cirrhosis in adults in the Unit ed States – up to 25% of adults with NASH may have cirrhosis. Years ago when a patient that did not use alcohol developed cirrhosis it was termed cryptogenic cirrhosis because the providers had no idea how the patient developed cirrhosis.
