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.
How to Code the Active Neoplasm or Cancer 1. Go to the “Table of Neoplasms” in the International Classification of Disease (ICD) coding manual. 2. Find the anatomical site. 3. Choose whether the neoplasm is primary or secondary malignant, in situ, benign, of uncertain behavior, or of unspecified nature or behavior Important!
The term "malignant neoplasm" means that a tumor is cancerous. A doctor may suspect this diagnosis based on observation — such as during a colonoscopy — but usually a biopsy of the lesion or mass is needed to tell for sure whether it is malignant or benign (not cancerous).

(NEE-oh-PLA-zum) An abnormal mass of tissue that forms when cells grow and divide more than they should or do not die when they should. Neoplasms may be benign (not cancer) or malignant (cancer). Benign neoplasms may grow large but do not spread into, or invade, nearby tissues or other parts of the body.
C78.5ICD-10 code C78. 5 for Secondary malignant neoplasm of large intestine and rectum is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Malignant neoplasms .
Code C80. 1, Malignant (primary) neoplasm, unspecified, equates to Cancer, unspecified. This code should only be used when no determination can be made as to the primary site of a malignancy.
A malignant tumor at the original site of growth. [ from NCI]
CPT® provides different code sets to report excision of benign (11400-11471) and malignant (11600-11646) skin lesions/neoplasms.
Neoplasm of uncertain behavior of colon D37. 4 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 D37. 4 became effective on October 1, 2021.
If the site of the primary cancer is not documented, the coder will assign a code for the metastasis first, followed by C80. 1 malignant (primary) neoplasm, unspecified. For example, if the patient was being treated for metastatic bone cancer, but the primary malignancy site is not documented, assign C79. 51, C80.
Summary. Metastatic colorectal cancer is advanced cancer that has spread to other areas outside the colon and rectum. Commonly, this type of cancer spreads to the lymph nodes and liver, but it may spread to other parts of the body, such as the brain.
A primary or metastatic malignant neoplasm that affects the colon. Representative examples include carcinoma, lymphoma, and sarcoma.
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.
Malignant neoplasms of ectopic tissue are to be coded to the site mentioned, e.g., ectopic pancreatic malignant neoplasms are coded to pancreas, unspecified ( C25.9 ). A primary or metastatic malignant neoplasm that affects the colon. Representative examples include carcinoma, lymphoma, and sarcoma.
The Table of Neoplasms should be used to identify the correct topography code. In a few cases, such as for malignant melanoma and certain neuroendocrine tumors, the morphology (histologic type) is included in the category and codes. Primary malignant neoplasms overlapping site boundaries.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM C18 became effective on October 1, 2021.
A type 1 excludes note is a pure excludes. It means "not coded here". A type 1 excludes note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as C18. A type 1 excludes note is for used for when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.
C18.9 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of malignant neoplasm of colon, unspecified. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.
Colorectal cancer (also known as colon cancer, rectal cancer, or bowel cancer) is the development of cancer in the colon or rectum (parts of the large intestine). It is due to the abnormal growth of cells that have the ability to invade or spread to other parts of the body.
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.
Malignant neoplasms of ectopic tissue are to be coded to the site mentioned, e.g., ectopic pancreatic malignant neoplasms are coded to pancreas, unspecified ( C25.9 ). A primary or metastatic malignant neoplasm involving the rectum. A primary or metastatic malignant neoplasm that affects the rectum.
Cancer of the rectum. Cancer of the rectum, adenocarcinoma. Cancer rectum melanoma. Malignant melanoma of rectum. Primary malignant neoplasm of rectum. Clinical Information. A primary or metastatic malignant neoplasm involving the rectum. A primary or metastatic malignant neoplasm that affects the rectum.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM C20 became effective on October 1, 2021.
The Table of Neoplasms should be used to identify the correct topography code. In a few cases, such as for malignant melanoma and certain neuroendocrine tumors, the morphology (histologic type) is included in the category and codes. Primary malignant neoplasms overlapping site boundaries.
