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).
Why ICD-10 codes are important
What is the correct ICD-10-CM code to report the External Cause? Your Answer: V80.010S The External cause code is used for each encounter for which the injury or condition is being treated.
ICD-10-PCS Code 0BH17EZ - Insertion of Endotracheal Airway into Trachea, Via Natural or Artificial Opening - Codify by AAPC.
ICD-10 code Z91. 89 for Other specified personal risk factors, not elsewhere classified is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Factors influencing health status and contact with health services .
Status code categories V46. 1 (ICD‐9, HCC 82) and Z99. 1 (ICD‐10, HCC 82) are for use when the patient is dependent on respirator (ventilator). This code category also includes weaning from a mechanical ventilator and encounters for respiratory (ventilator) dependence during power failure.
ICD-10 code J30. 89 for Other allergic rhinitis is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the respiratory system .
For example, Z12. 31 (Encounter for screening mammogram for malignant neoplasm of breast) is the correct code to use when you are ordering a routine mammogram for a patient.
ICD-10 code Z12. 39 for Encounter for other screening for malignant neoplasm of breast is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Factors influencing health status and contact with health services .
Z99.11ICD-10 code Z99. 11 for Dependence on respirator [ventilator] status is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Factors influencing health status and contact with health services .
What is intubation? Intubation is a process where a healthcare provider inserts a tube through a person's mouth or nose, then down into their trachea (airway/windpipe). The tube keeps the trachea open so that air can get through.
There are two ICD-10-PCS codes to consider as follows: 0BH17EZ Insertion of tracheal airway into trachea, via natural or artificial opening. 0BH18EZ Insertion of endotracheal airway into trachea, via natural or article opening endoscopic.
In other words, you cannot use the J30 codes with either J31. 0 or J45. 909.

For ambulatory surgery, code the dx for which the surgery was performed. If the post-op dx is known to be different from the pre-op dx at the time the diagnosis is confirmed, select the post-op dx for coding, since it is the most definitive. Hope this helps!
Failed or difficult intubation 1 T88.4 should not be used for reimbursement purposes as there are multiple codes below it that contain a greater level of detail. 2 The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM T88.4 became effective on October 1, 2020. 3 This is the American ICD-10-CM version of T88.4 - other international versions of ICD-10 T88.4 may differ.
Use secondary code (s) from Chapter 20, External causes of morbidity, to indicate cause of injury. Codes within the T section that include the external cause do not require an additional external cause code. Type 1 Excludes.
T88.4. Non-Billable means the code is not sufficient justification for admission to an acute care hospital when used a principal diagnosis . Use a child code to capture more detail. Code requires 7th Character Extension identifier. This 7th Character usually captures Episode of Care information, such as "Initial Encounter," "Subsquent Encounter," ...
The ICD code T88 is used to code Injury. Injury is damage to the body. This maybe caused by accidents, falls, hits, weapons, and other causes. The knee of a person is examined with the help of radiography after an injury.
CPT® provides a single code to report endotracheal intubation—31500 Intubation, endotracheal, emergency procedure —but application of this code isn’t always straightforward. Per CPT® and National Correct Coding Initiative (NCCI) guidelines, 31500 describes an emergency endotracheal intubation and should not be reported for elective endotracheal intubation. CPT Assistant (Dec. 2009) clarifies, “Code 31500 … should be reported for a stand-alone emergent or semi-emergent endotracheal intubation, such as rapid sequence intubation either using a rigid or flexible type of endoscope (ie, laryngoscope, bronchoscope).” There is no CPT® code for elective endotracheal intubation.#N#Additional points to keep in mind when considering 31500 include: 1 Do not separately report 31500 with any anesthesia procedure. NCCI guidelines confirm, “Airway access is necessary for general anesthesia and is not separately reportable.” 2 Endotracheal intubation is bundled in (included in) pediatric and neonatal critical care service codes (99293-99296). 3 Per CPT®, “Visualization of the airway is a component part of an endotracheal intubation, and CPT codes describing procedures that visualize the airway (e.g., nasal endoscopy, laryngoscopy, bronchoscopy) should not be reported with an endotracheal intubation. It is a misuse of diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopy codes to report visualization of the airway for endotracheal intubation.”
Do not separately report 31500 with any anesthesia procedure. NCCI guidelines confirm, “Airway access is necessary for general anesthesia and is not separately reportable.”. Endotracheal intubation is bundled in (included in) pediatric and neonatal critical care service codes (99293-99296).
