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.

ICD-10 code C34. 90 for Malignant neoplasm of unspecified part of unspecified bronchus or lung is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Malignant neoplasms .
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) The main subtypes of NSCLC are adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and large cell carcinoma. These subtypes, which start from different types of lung cells are grouped together as NSCLC because their treatment and prognoses (outlook) are often similar.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM C79. 9 became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of C79.
Listen to pronunciation. (A-deh-noh-KAR-sih-NOH-muh) Cancer that forms in the glandular tissue, which lines certain internal organs and makes and releases substances in the body, such as mucus, digestive juices, and other fluids.
2022 ICD-10-CM Codes C34*: Malignant neoplasm of bronchus and lung.
Adenocarcinoma of the lung is a type of non-small cell lung cancer. It occurs when abnormal lung cells multiply out of control and form a tumor. Eventually, tumor cells can spread (metastasize) to other parts of the body including the. lymph nodes around and between the lungs.
Lung adenocarcinoma is the most common primary lung cancer seen in the United States. It falls under the umbrella of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and has a strong association with previous smoking. While incidence and mortality have declined, it remains the leading cause of cancer death in the United States.
Expand Section. Metastatic tumors in the lungs are cancers that developed at other places in the body (or other parts of the lungs). They then spread through the bloodstream or lymphatic system to the lungs. It is different than lung cancer that starts in the lungs. Nearly any cancer can spread to the lungs.
C78. 0 - Secondary malignant neoplasm of lung | ICD-10-CM.
1. If the documentation states the cancer is a metastatic cancer, but does not state the site of the metastasis, the coder will assign a code for the primary cancer, followed by code C79. 9 secondary malignant neoplasm of unspecified site.
ICD-10 code C78. 00 for Secondary malignant neoplasm of unspecified lung is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Malignant neoplasms .
Non-small cell adenocarcinoma tends to form in the cells along the outer part of the lungs. In the pre-cancerous stage, cells undergo genetic changes that cause the abnormal cells to grow faster. Further genetic alterations may lead to changes that help the cancer cells grow and form a mass or tumor.
These may turn cancerous and affect normal tissue nearby, but they haven't spread throughout other parts of the body. The subtypes of stage 0 NSCLC are: Adenocarcinoma in situ—when abnormal cells are detected in glandular tissue lining the lungs.
The pace of treatment for SCLC is generally faster than NSCLC due to the tumors' ability to quickly spread. NSCLC is less aggressive; however, it is typically identified at a later stage. In fact, only an approximate 25% of NSCLC patients are diagnosed at stage 1 or 2.
Survival rates for adenocarcinoma of the lung According to the American Society of Clinical Oncology: For localized NSCLC limited to the lung, the five-year survival rate is 63 percent. For those with NSCLC that has metastasized outside of the lung to nearby areas, the five-year survival rate is about 35 percent.
A primary malignant neoplasm that overlaps two or more contiguous (next to each other) sites should be classified to the subcategory/code .8 ('overlapping lesion'), unless the combination is specifically indexed elsewhere.
