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
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.
Brain bleeds – bleeding between the brain tissue and skull or within the brain tissue itself – can cause brain damage and be life-threatening.
Intracranial hemorrhage encompasses four broad types of hemorrhage: epidural hemorrhage, subdural hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and intraparenchymal hemorrhage. Each type of hemorrhage results from different etiologies and the clinical findings, prognosis, and outcomes are variable.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM S06. 360A became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of S06.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM I61. 8 became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of I61.
It is important to understand the difference between the terms intracranial hemorrhage and intracerebral hemorrhage. The former refers to all bleeding occurring within the skull, while the latter indicates bleeding within the brain parenchyma. All intracranial hemorrhages (ICH) share some classic clinical features.
This space is called the subdural space because it is below the dura. Bleeding into this space is called a subdural hemorrhage. Other names for subdural hematoma are subdural hemorrhage or intracranial hematoma. More broadly, it is also a type of traumatic brain injury (TBI).

Therefore, based on the index, code S09. 90xA is assigned for documentation of closed head injury (initial encounter). If documentation supports that the patient had loss of consciousness with the closed head injury, assign a code from subcategory S06. 9, Unspecified intracranial injury.
A parenchymal hemorrhage, or an intraparenchymal hemorrhage (IPH), is a bleed that occurs within the brain parenchyma, the functional tissue in the brain consisting of neurons and glial cells.
Traumatic hemorrhage of left cerebrum The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM S06. 35 became effective on October 1, 2021.
During an intracerebral hemorrhage, bleeding within the brain creates a pool of blood called a hematoma. In this illustration, the bleeding is within the brain tissue itself, a kind of stroke called an intraparenchymal hemorrhage.
