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.
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.

E13, Other specified diabetes mellitus. Includes: Diabetes mellitus due to genetic defects of beta-cell function. Diabetes mellitus due to genetic defects in insulin action. Postpancreatectomy diabetes mellitus.
External cause codes are used to report injuries, poisonings, and other external causes. (They are also valid for diseases that have an external source and health conditions such as a heart attack that occurred while exercising.)
External cause codes are never reported as primary, that is they cannot be assigned as a principal diagnosis. They never reported alone. They can be reported with any condition due to an external cause and are not limited to injuries or poisonings.

The incorrect portion of the response came as an aside at the end, where it was stated that “it would be redundant to assign codes for both diabetic nephropathy (E11. 21) and diabetic chronic kidney disease (E11. 22), as diabetic chronic kidney disease is a more specific condition.” It is true you wouldn't code both.
Can Z codes be listed as primary codes? Yes; they can be sequenced as primary and secondary codes.
