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.

Coding CKD. Documenting the stage of CKD—not the GFR—is vital for accurate coding. If the stage is not documented, then code 585.9, Chronic kidney disease, is assigned. If a provider documents both a stage of CKD and ESRD, then only the code for ESRD (585.6) is assigned.
A condition in which the kidneys stop working and are not able to remove waste and extra water from the blood or keep body chemicals in balance. Acute or severe renal failure happens suddenly (for example, after an injury) and may be treated and cured.
Acute kidney injury (AKI), also known as acute renal failure (ARF), is a sudden episode of kidney failure or kidney damage that happens within a few hours or a few days. AKI causes a build-up of waste products in your blood and makes it hard for your kidneys to keep the right balance of fluid in your body.
Overview. End-stage renal disease, also called end-stage kidney disease or kidney failure, occurs when chronic kidney disease — the gradual loss of kidney function — reaches an advanced state. In end-stage renal disease, your kidneys no longer work as they should to meet your body's needs.
Renal injuries are classified according to severity into 5 grades: Grade 1: Subcapsular hematoma and/or renal contusion. Grade 2: Laceration ≤ 1 cm in depth without urinary extravasation. Grade 3: Laceration > 1 cm without urinary extravasation.
The causes of acute kidney injury can be divided into three categories (Table 29 ): prerenal (caused by decreased renal perfusion, often because of volume depletion), intrinsic renal (caused by a process within the kidneys), and postrenal (caused by inadequate drainage of urine distal to the kidneys).
Kidney injuries are classified by five grades. Each grade indicates increasing severity of the injury. Grade 1: Subcapsular hematoma and/or renal contusion. This grade does not require surgery and causes little to no permanent damage to the kidney. Grade 2: Laceration ≤ 1 cm in depth without urine leakage.
Unspecified injury of unspecified kidney, initial encounter 1 S37.009A is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. 2 The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM S37.009A became effective on October 1, 2020. 3 This is the American ICD-10-CM version of S37.009A - other international versions of ICD-10 S37.009A 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.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM S37.009A became effective on October 1, 2021.
When your kidneys stop working suddenly, over a very short period of time (usually two days or less), it is called acute kidney injury (AKI). AKI is sometimes called acute kidney failure or acute renal failure. It is very serious and requires immediate treatment.
Symptoms of AKI. Signs and symptoms of acute kidney failure may include decreased urine output (although occasionally urine output remains normal), fluid retention, swelling in your legs or feet, shortness of breath, fatigue, confusion, nausea, weakness, irregular heartbeat, chest pain, pressure, seizures, or a coma in severe cases.
Most people with acute kidney failure are already hospitalized. How long you’ll stay in the hospital depends on the reason for your acute kidney failure and how quickly your kidneys recover. In some cases, you may be able to recover at home. Treatment for acute kidney failure involves identifying the illness or injury that originally damaged your ...
If you were healthy before your kidneys suddenly failed and you were treated for AKI right away, your kidneys may work normally or almost normally after your AKI is treated. Some people have lasting kidney damage after AKI. This is called chronic kidney disease, and it could lead to kidney failure if steps are not taken to prevent the kidney damage from getting worse.
A disorder characterized by the acute loss of renal function and is traditionally classified as pre-renal (low blood flow into kidney), renal (kidney damage) and post-renal causes (ureteral or bladder outflow obstruction).
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM N17.9 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Clinical syndrome characterized by a sudden decrease in glomerular filtration rate, usually associated with oliguria and always associated with biochemical consequences of the reduction in glomerular filtration rate such as a rise in blood urea nitrogen (bun) and serum creatinine concentrations.
