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-PCS coding for the TAH-BSO with Omenectomy would be:
When coding for laparoscopic or robotic procedures, code the standard laparoscopic CPT code, example 58552 for a laparoscopic or robotic vaginal hysterectomy, for uterus 250 g. or less with removal of tube(s) and ovary(s) or as another example 58571 laparoscopic or robot-ic total hysterectomy for uterus 250 g.

Acquired absence of uterus with remaining cervical stump Z90. 711 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 Z90. 711 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Robotic assisted hysterectomy is a type of surgery that uses surgeon-controlled robotic equipment to remove your uterus. Hysterectomy is the surgical removal of the uterus. The uterus is a hollow, muscular organ located in a woman's pelvis. Having a hysterectomy ends menstruation and the ability to become pregnant.
Definition: Robotic Assisted Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy is an operation to remove the uterus (womb) and cervix with the aid of the daVinci Robotic Laparoscopic surgical system.

68.49 Other and unspecified total abdominal hysterectomy - ICD-9-CM Vol. 3 Procedure Codes.
Like robotic hysterectomy, a laparoscopic hysterectomy utilizes tiny, flexible cameras and instruments inserted through small surgical incisions. However, laparoscopic hysterectomy is performed manually with the surgeon tableside, rather than at a remote robotic console.
Gynecologic robotic surgery is one of the latest innovations in minimally invasive surgical techniques. Using a narrow, lighted scope and miniature instruments controlled through a robotic system, our gynecological surgeons are able to treat several conditions that affect a woman's reproductive organs.
Even performed as a minimally invasive robotic procedure, hysterectomy is still a major surgery that will require a hospital stay, recovery period, and certain physical restrictions.
Bilateral Salpingo-Oophorectomy refers to the surgical procedure in which both ovaries and fallopian tubes are removed from the body. Overall, Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy with Bilateral Salpingo Oophorectomy is simply the surgical removal of the uterus, cervix, fallopian tubes and, ovaries.

During this procedure, the uterus is visualized using a thin, lighted scope with a camera on the end called a laparoscope. Small instruments are then inserted through the incisions into your pelvis to perform the surgery to remove the uterus.
The ICD-10-PCS code assignment for this example is: 1 0UT90ZZ, Resection of uterus, open approach (for the hysterectomy) 2 0UTC0ZZ, Resection of cervix, open approach (for removal of the cervix) 3 0UJD4ZZ, Inspection of uterus and cervix, percutaneous endoscopic approach (for the attempted laparoscopic hysterectomy) 4 8E0W4CZ, Robotic assisted procedure of trunk region, percutaneous endoscopic approach (for the attempted robotic-assisted surgery)
ICD-10-PCS codes 0UT90ZZ and 0UTC0ZZ are assigned based on the following Character 3 root operation coding guidelines and advice for this procedure: Medical and Surgical Section of the 2015 ICD-10-PCS Official Guidelines for Coding and Reporting:
In ICD-10-PCS, procedure codes consist of a seven character code structure, with each character code including specific values. ICD-10-PCS coding is applied at the procedure document type level where a code is assigned based on specific values for each of the seven characters (see Figure 1 above).
Multiple procedures B3.2a: During the same operative episode, multiple procedures are coded if the same root operation is performed on different body parts as defined by distinct values of the body part character. Example: Diagnostic excision of liver and pancreas are coded separately.
The American Hospital Association’s (AHA’s) Coding Clinic indicates when the provider’s operative note documentation does not specify the end placement of the infusion device, the imaging report may be used to identify the required body part for the ICD-10-PCS code assignment. This scenario illustrates how the use of two procedure document types provide all the required documentation necessary for the accurate ICD-10-PCS code assignment and emphasizes the need for facilities to define all the appropriate procedure document types for ICD-10-PCS coding.
In the article “ Pinpoint Correct Hysterectomy Coding ” (August 2018, pages 16-18), the statement, “… a laparoscopic-assisted vaginal approach — a ‘subset’ of the vaginal approach — in which a scope is inserted via small incisions in the vagina,” is incorrect, and is not the basis for coding a laparoscopically assisted vaginal hysterectomy (LAVH) versus a total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH)..
Code selection for a TLH versus a LAVH depends on how the uterine cervix and body are detached from the supporting structures.
Consider the following chart example: The patient was taken to the OR, where her anesthetic was induced. She was then placed in the dorsal lithotomy position and underwent examination under anesthesia. She was then prepped and draped in the usual manner for vaginal and abdominal surgery.
January 16, 2012. Hysterectomy is the surgical removal of the uterus. It is one of the most common surgical procedures among women and is typically considered only after all other treatment options have been tried and failed. • Uterine fibroids (ICD-9-CM category 218): benign tumors of the uterus, which are also called leiomyoma, fibromyoma, ...
This open procedure is the most common approach for hysterectomy. • Vaginal: An incision is made in the vagina, and the uterus is removed through the vagina. • Laparoscopic: The hysterectomy is performed using a laparoscope and surgical tools inserted through the several small cuts in the body.
Alternatives to Hysterectomy. The following are potential alternatives to a hysterectomy: • Endometrial ablation for abnormal uterine bleeding (68 .23): laser surgery, which may be done through a hysteroscope, to remove fibroids. A dilation and curettage for endometrial ablation is also classified to code 68.23.
UFE may be performed with coils and is classified to code 68.24. The procedure may be performed by injecting other particles into the arteries, such as gelatin sponge, gelfoam, microspheres, polyvinyl alcohol, spherical embolics, or other particulate agent. Assign code 68.25 if the UFE is done without coils.
