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
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.
ICD-10 CM code Z79.51, Z79.52 should be reported for an individual on glucocorticoid therapy. ICD-10 CM code Z79.83 should be reported for DXA testing while taking medicines for osteoporosis/osteopenia.

Osteoarthritis of the Hip Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease, which means it causes gradual damage to the joint. It is the most common form of hip arthritis and can affect other joints. Hip osteoarthritis is typically caused by wear and tear related to aging and worsens over time.

Generalized osteoarthritis (code 715.0x or 715.8x) affects many joints, while localized osteoarthritis affects the joints of one site.
Are arthritis and osteoarthritis the same? Arthritis is a blanket term covering all types of arthritis including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and gout. Wear and tear on the joints are known as osteoarthritis, and it's the most common type of arthritis.
M25. 552 Pain in left hip - ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Codes.
Use a child code to capture more detail. ICD Code M16 is a non-billable code. To code a diagnosis of this type, you must use one of the nine child codes of M16 that describes the diagnosis 'osteoarthritis of hip' in more detail.
Unlike other types of arthritis, only the joints are typically affected. The formation of hard nobs at the middle finger joints (known as Bouchard's nodes ) and at the farther away finger joint (known as Heberden's node) are a common feature of OA in the hands.
