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.
Adenopathy typically refers to swollen lymph nodes (lymphadenopathy). Lymph nodes aren't technically glands, because they don't produce and release chemicals. However, people often refer to lymphadenopathy as “swollen glands.”
ICD-10 code R59. 9 for Enlarged lymph nodes, unspecified is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .
Adenopathy is any disease or inflammation that involves glandular tissue or lymph nodes. The term is usually used to refer to lymphadenopathy or swollen lymph nodes. Unlike the tear glands in the eye or sweat glands in the skin, the lymph nodes do not produce and release chemicals.
Definition. Generalized lymphadenopathy is abnormal enlargement of more than two noncontiguous lymph node regions.
Secondary and unspecified malignant neoplasm of axilla and upper limb lymph nodes. C77. 3 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 C77.

Adenopathy (also known as lymphadenopathy) refers to lymph nodes that have become enlarged or swollen due to an infection, the most common cause, or as a result of other health issues, such as autoimmune disorders or cancer.
Regional lymphadenopathy involves enlargement of a single node or multiple contiguous nodal regions. Lymph nodes are clustered in groups throughout the body and are concentrated in the head and neck, axillae, mediastinum, abdomen, and along the vascular trunks of the extremities.
Also called axillary adenopathy or armpit lump, axillary lymphadenopathy occurs when your underarm (axilla) lymph nodes grow larger in size. While this condition may be concerning, it's usually attributed to a benign cause. It may also be temporary.
Normal lymph nodes are usually less than 1 cm in diameter and tend to be larger in adolescence than later in life. A clinically useful approach is to classify lymphadenopathy as localized when it involves only one region, such as the neck or axilla, and generalized when it involves more than one region [1].
Generalized swollen lymph nodes mean you have them in two or more areas of your body. This usually points to a more serious systemic (meaning it's all over your body) disease. These are wide-ranging and may include: Autoimmune diseases (like lupus or rheumatoid arthritis).
Generalised lymphadenopathy can be defined as enlargement of more than two non-contiguous lymph node groups. Lymph nodes have a considerable capacity to increase in size. Their size depends on the individual's age, their location and any immune activity in which they may be involved.
Lymphadenopathy or lymphadenitis refers to lymph nodes which are abnormal in size, number or consistency and is often used as a synonym for swollen or enlarged lymph nodes. Common causes of lymphadenopathy are infection, autoimmune disease, or malignancy.
Inclusion Terms are a list of concepts for which a specific code is used. The list of Inclusion Terms is useful for determining the correct code in some cases, but the list is not necessarily exhaustive.

This is the official approximate match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code I88.9 and a single ICD9 code, 289.3 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
