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
Total knee replacement is classified to code 81.54 and involves replacing the articular surfaces of the femoral condyles, tibial plateau, and patella. What is ICD 10 code for knee replacement? ICD-10: Z96. 651, Status (post), organ replacement, by artificial or mechanical device or prosthesis of, joint, knee-see presence of knee joint implant.
Internal derangement of the knee is a mechanical disorder of the knee which interferes with normal joint motion and/or mobility. A fragment of soft tissue or bone that suddenly becomes interposed between the articular surfaces is the classic cause of internal derangement.
ICD-10 Code for Unspecified internal derangement of left knee- M23. 92- Codify by AAPC.
Superficial injury of knee and lower leg ICD-10-CM S80. 912A is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group(s) (MS-DRG v39.0):
The term “internal derangements” refers to conditions with the articular disc displaced from its original position on the mandibular condyle. There are several specific conditions, differentiated by the position of the articular disc during mandibular movement and nonmovement.
Unspecified internal derangement of unspecified knee M23. 90 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 M23. 90 became effective on October 1, 2021.
S80. 911A - Unspecified superficial injury of right knee [initial encounter]. ICD-10-CM.
Unspecified injury of unspecified lower leg, initial encounter. S89. 90XA 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 S89.

Internal Derangement of the Knee is a general term to describe a chronic or acute condition that is the result of an underlying condition, such as a partial tear in the meniscus, damage to the cartilage or to one or more of the ligaments of the knee (ACL, PCL, LCL or MCL).
Internal derangement of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) may be defined as a disruption within the internal aspects of the TMJ in which there is a displacement of the disc from its normal functional relationship with the mandibular condyle and the articular portion of the temporal bone.
Internal derangement of the knee (IDK) is a chronic condition that interferes with normal knee joint function. Several things can cause it, such as injured ligaments, loose pieces of bone or cartilage in the knee joint, or a torn meniscus. Over time, it can cause pain, instability, and limited knee flexibility.
Knee pain can be mild, moderate or severe. The reasons for pain can vary such as injury, overuse, infection and inflammation. Sometimes there may be swelling and redness depends on the cause. We need to visit doctor as per the severity and as per how long the pain lasts.
Physician will do extremity examination to check if there is any swelling, inflammation or injury. There may be need of radiological tests (X-ray, CT, MRI, ultrasound) or arthrocentesis (lab analysis of knee joint fluid) for further evaluation to check for infections or injury to tendon or ligament.
ICD 10 Code for knee pain is found in chapter 13 of ICD-10 CM manual – diseases of musculoskeletal system and connective tissue, code range M00 – M99
