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.
Why ICD-10 codes are important
Arachnoid cysts are cerebrospinal fluid-filled sacs that are located between the brain or spinal cord and the arachnoid membrane, one of the three membranes that cover the brain and spinal cord.
ICD-10 code G93. 0 for Cerebral cysts is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the nervous system .
What are arachnoid cysts? Arachnoid cysts are fluid-filled sacs that grow on the brain and spine. They are not tumors, and they are not cancerous. On rare occasions, if they grow too big or press on other structures in the body, they can cause brain damage or movement problems.

A brain cyst or cystic brain lesion is a fluid-filled sac in the brain. They can be noncancer (benign) or cancer (malignant). Benign means that the growth doesn't spread to other parts of the body. A cyst may contain blood, pus, or other material. In the brain, cysts sometimes contain cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).
In the ICD-10-CM code book, locate the term “cyst” in the index, followed by the term “brain” and look down to the terms of “third ventricle (colloid), congenital” to obtain the code Q04. 6.
The cysts are fluid-filled sacs, not tumors. The likely cause is a split of the arachnoid membrane, one of the three layers of tissue that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord.
Posterior fossa is a site next to the middle fossa where arachnoid cyst frequently occurs. Generally, most arachnoid cysts are asymptomatic and are found incidentally in most cases.
Brain cysts located in the brain are not truly “brain tumors” because they do not arise from the brain tissue itself. Although they tend to be (benign noncancerous), they are sometimes found in parts of the brain that control vital functions.
Your arachnoid mater, the middle layer of your meninges, lies directly below your dura mater. It's a thin layer that lays between your dura mater and pia mater. It doesn't contain blood vessels or nerves.
89 - Other specified diseases of spinal cord.
Adhesive arachnoiditis is a relatively uncommon chronic pathological disorder, characterised by an inflammatory insult to the arachnoid layer of the meninges that leads to fibrosis. As a sequel, the arachnoid becomes abnormally thick and adherent to the surrounding layers of pia and dura mater.
Bobble-head doll syndrome is a rare neurological movement disorder in which patients, usually children around age 3, begin to bob their head and shoulders forward and back, or sometimes side-to-side, involuntarily, in a manner reminiscent of a bobblehead doll.
Inclusion Terms are a list of concepts for which a specific code is used. The list of Inclusion Terms is useful for determining the correct code in some cases, but the list is not necessarily exhaustive.

This is the official exact match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that in all cases where the ICD9 code 348.0 was previously used, G93.0 is the appropriate modern ICD10 code.
