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.
What is an ICD-10 diagnosis code? The ICD-10-CM (International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification) is a system used by physicians and other healthcare providers to classify and code all diagnoses, symptoms and procedures recorded in conjunction with hospital care in the United States.
The Code Set M99 is for Biomechanics Lesions, NEC, which does cover various spinal stenosis situations, but comes with the Coding Note that "This category should not be used if the condition can be classified elsewhere." That mean that these should be used only when there is no other "specific" diagnosable cause or disease that explains the stenosis.
Occlusion and stenosis of unspecified cerebral artery I66. 9 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 I66. 9 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Laryngeal stenosis (LS) is a congenital or acquired narrowing of the larynx causing airway compromise. The acquired causes may be due to endotracheal intubation, trauma, burns, inflammation, neoplasms, autoimmune disorders and collagen vascular disease.
Stenosis refers to narrowing, usually due to scar tissue. Idiopathic subglottic stenosis (ISS), therefore, refers to a narrowing of the part of the airway located immediately below the vocal cords for unknown reasons.
Supraglottic stenosis is a rare laryngeal disorder of abnormal fibrotic changes or scarring of the supraglottic structures. Patients may present with the early symptoms of dysphonia and dysphagia or if severe, dyspnea, stridor and airway obstruction.
A diagnosis of subglottic stenosis can be confirmed based on direct examination of the subglottic area of the windpipe through a procedure known as endoscopy. During this procedure, a physician runs a small tube called an endoscope down the throat.
Medical Definition of stenosis : a narrowing or constriction of the diameter of a bodily passage or orifice esophageal stenosis — see aortic stenosis, mitral stenosis, pulmonary stenosis, spinal stenosis, subaortic stenosis.
ICD-10 code Q31. 1 for Congenital subglottic stenosis is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Congenital malformations, deformations and chromosomal abnormalities .
The trachea is also commonly known as the “windpipe.” Tracheal stenosis can also be referred to as subglottic stenosis. The subglottis is the narrowest part of the airway and many stenoses (or narrowings) occur at this level of the air passageway.
The lowest part of the larynx; the area from just below the vocal cords down to the top of the trachea.
Acquired Subglottic Stenosis - This type is not present at birth, but develops after birth. This most commonly occurs due to infection, trauma, or problems associated with intubation (a breathing tube inserted into the airway). These issues can cause scar to form in the airway that causes narrowing.
Introduction. Posterior Glottic Stenosis (PGS) is a life-threatening condition in which the vocal folds are fixed in a midline position. This results in a severely narrowed glottic airway with limited vocal fold abduction and subsequent ventilatory collapse.
The upper part of the larynx (voice box), including the epiglottis; the area above the vocal cords. Anatomy of the larynx. The three parts of the larynx are the supraglottis (including the epiglottis), the glottis (including the vocal cords), and the subglottis.

The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM M48.06 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Diseases such as arthritis and scoliosis can cause spinal stenosis, too. Symptoms might appear gradually or not at all. They include pain in your neck or back, numbness, weakness or pain in your arms or legs, and foot problems.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM M48.00 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Narrowing of the spinal canal. Your spine, or backbone, protects your spinal cord and allows you to stand and bend. Spinal stenosis causes narrowing in your spine. The narrowing can occur at the center of your spine, in the canals branching off your spine and/or between the vertebrae, the bones of the spine.
The narrowing puts pressure on your nerves and spinal cord and can cause pain.spinal stenosis occurs mostly in people older than 50. Younger people with a spine injury or a narrow spinal canal are also at risk. Diseases such as arthritis and scoliosis can cause spinal stenosis, too.
