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).
Yes, opioid-induced constipation is treatable. Laxative medications are considered the first-line treatment and can be started right away. Talk with your physician about beginning a laxative regimen at the same time you start a new opioid medication. This may help to reduce constipation symptoms and discomfort.
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.
Timing and Abstinence for IBS With Constipation ICD 10
ABSTRACT: Opioid-induced constipation (OIC) is a common adverse effect experienced by many patients on opioid therapy for chronic pain. Inadequate treatment of OIC is a barrier to the management of chronic pain and leads to a poorer quality of life. Nonpharmacologic treatment includes dietary and lifestyle changes.
Opioid dependence with other opioid-induced disorder F11. 288 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 F11. 288 became effective on October 1, 2021.
All opioids can cause constipation, but some may have less of an effect than others. Some studies have found that fentanyl may cause less constipation than morphine. Tapentadol may also be easier on your intestines than oxycodone. Methadone may also be less constipating.
The most common regime for OIC is a stimulant (senna/bisacodyl) with or without a stool softener (docusate), or daily administration of an osmotic laxative (polyethylene glycol). Stool softeners are ideal for preventing constipation; they do not work well for established cases of constipation[15].

The American Gastroenterological Association (AGA) recommended the use of laxatives as the first-line in patients with OIC [9]. Several studies show that stimulant laxatives (senna, bisacodyl, and picosulphate) and osmotic laxatives (polyethylene glycol) should be the first choice in OIC patients [15-16].
