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).

H40. 059 - Ocular hypertension, unspecified eye. ICD-10-CM.
Although 304 ICD-10 codes contain the word glaucoma, only one exists for glaucoma suspect (H40. 0).
Intraocular pressure (IOP) is the fluid pressure inside the eye. Tonometry is the method eye care professionals use to determine this. IOP is an important aspect in the evaluation of patients at risk of glaucoma. Most tonometers are calibrated to measure pressure in millimeters of mercury (mmHg).

Moderate stage glaucoma is noted with a “2” as the final digit in the diagnosis code. As in the example above, moderate stage open angle glaucoma with borderline findings and low risk the ICD-10 code would be H40. 011X2 for the right eye and H40. 012X2 for the left eye.
Intraocular pressureIntraocular pressure (IOP) is the fluid pressure of the eye. As pressure is a measure of force per area, IOP is a measurement involving the magnitude of the force exerted by the aqueous humor on the internal surface area of the anterior eye.
The air puff test gives your eye doctor an eye pressure reading known as intraocular pressure (IOP), which helps detect glaucoma. 1 "Puff tonometry" is a good screening test for eye doctors, but can sometimes overestimate pressures.
Eye pressure—also called intraocular pressure or IOP—is a measurement of the fluid pressure inside the eye. Measuring it is like measuring blood pressure. The eye has a jelly-like substance called vitreous humor filling most of the back part of the eye. A more-watery liquid called aqueous humor also is present.
H25. 12 - Age-related nuclear cataract, left eye | ICD-10-CM.
Age-related nuclear cataract, bilateral H25. 13 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 H25. 13 became effective on October 1, 2021.

The biggest problem with billing IOP services is that payer requirements are not standardized for all payers which leaves it up to the provider to understand those requirements. Therefore, the information presented here provides some general guidelines, but they do not supercede payer policies.
Most IOPs provide behavioral health services for a minimum of 9 hours per week although we have heard of some programs which allow a minimum of six hours per week for children. Most programs meet several days a week for 2-3 hours per day.
Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOPs) are considered to be an intermediate level of care which is commonly considered after the patient has been discharged from inpatient care. For some patients and/or conditions they can also provide an effective level of care when hospitalization is not clinically indicated or preferred. The following are the broadly defined non-inpatient types of programs:
Medicare’s coverage of IOP services has historically been less comprehensive than other services and their billing standards are not the same as other commercial payer IOP policies. In order to be reimbursed by Medicare, it is essential to meet the following eligibility requirements as outlined in CMS’s Medicare Benefit Policy Manual, Chapter 6, Section 70.1.
Generally speaking, IOPs must be licensed at the state level to provide partial hospitalization services and many payers require the facility to be credentialed with them. In-network facilities contracted with the payer have met credentialing requirements, but there could be out-of-network benefits in situations where a case manager determines that the patient’s needs would be better met at another facility. Additionally, the treating or billing provider typically must be contracted (in-network provider) with the payer.
