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).

R55 - Syncope and collapse | ICD-10-CM.
Syncope is a temporary loss of consciousness usually related to insufficient blood flow to the brain. It's also called fainting or "passing out."
Unspecified intracranial injury with loss of consciousness of unspecified duration, initial encounter. S06. 9X9A is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
The practitioner selects the codes TBI Not Otherwise Specified (NOS) with loss of consciousness of 30 minutes or less, initial encounter (S06. 9X1A) and the codes the for memory loss NOS (R41.
Vasovagal syncope (vay-zoh-VAY-gul SING-kuh-pee) occurs when you faint because your body overreacts to certain triggers, such as the sight of blood or extreme emotional distress. It may also be called neurocardiogenic syncope. The vasovagal syncope trigger causes your heart rate and blood pressure to drop suddenly.
Reflex syncope is the most frequent cause of fainting. Vasovagal syncope — the common faint — occurs in one third of the population. It is by far the most common form of reflex syncope. Vasovagal syncope is often triggered by a combination of dehydration and upright posture.
Differentiating syncope from seizures can be difficult at times. This study concludes that fewer than 10 jerks suggests syncope, while more than 20 suggests a convulsive seizure: the 10/20 rule. Loss of tone favors syncope.
The differential diagnosis should include nontraumatic causes of transient loss of consciousness. Rare causes include subclavian steal syndrome, pulmonary embolism, acute myocardial infarction, acute aortic dissection, leaking aortic aneurysm, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and cardiac tamponade.
A transient loss of consciousness and postural tone caused by diminished blood flow to the brain (i.e., brain ischemia). Presyncope refers to the sensation of lightheadedness and loss of strength that precedes a syncopal event or accompanies an incomplete syncope . (from Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, pp367-9)
intracranial injury ( S06.-) A disorder characterized by spontaneous loss of consciousness caused by insufficient blood supply to the brain. A spontaneous loss of consciousness caused by insufficient blood supply to the brain. A spontaneous loss of consciousness caused by insufficient blood to the brain.
R55 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of syncope and collapse. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.
These symptoms may include lightheadedness, sweating, pale skin, blurred vision, nausea, vomiting, and feeling warm, among others. Syncope may also be associated with a short episode of muscle twitching.
Syncope, also known as fainting, passing out and swooning, is defined as a short loss of consciousness and muscle strength, characterized by a fast onset, short duration, and spontaneous recovery. It is due to a decrease in blood flow to the entire brain usually from low blood pressure.
If a person does not completely lose consciousness and muscle strength it is referred to as presyncope. It is recommended that presyncope be treated the same as syncope. Specialty:
