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
ICD Codes are listed on subsequent page(s) of this document. 85651, 85652 Sedimentation Rate, Erythrocyte Coverage Indications, Limitations, and/or Medical Necessity The erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) is a sensitive but nonspecific test that is frequently the earliest indicator of disease when other chemical or physical signs are normal.
I01. 9 - Acute rheumatic heart disease, unspecified. ICD-10-CM.
Rheumatic heart disease is a condition in which the heart valves have been permanently damaged by rheumatic fever. The heart valve damage may start shortly after untreated or under-treated streptococcal infection such as strep throat or scarlet fever.
Rheumatic heart disease has been classically considered as a risk factor for infective endocarditis (IE). Although valvulitis is frequently present in patients with acute rheumatic fever (ARF), the established valve disease after initial episode of ARF is usually considered as a predisposing factor for IE.
ICD-10-CM Code for Chronic rheumatic pericarditis I09. 2.
Rheumatic heart disease is heart valve damage resulting from rheumatic fever. Bacterial infections called group A streptococcal (GAS) infections can cause rheumatic fever. An infection, such as strep throat or scarlet fever, triggers your body's immune response.
There is no specific test for rheumatic heart disease. The first step will be to establish if you have had a strep infection. A throat culture and/or a blood test might be able to find strep antibodies if the infection was recent.
Complications include heart failure, which means the heart is unable to pump blood effectively. The strain causes the heart to enlarge. Other complications of RHD include infection of damaged heart valves (infective endocarditis) and stroke due to clots forming in the enlarged heart or on damaged valves.
Rheumatic fever (RF) and its major sequelae rheumatic heart disease (RHD) are autoimmune diseases that arise following infection of the throat by S. pyogenes in children and young individuals (3–19 years old) who present genetic components that confer susceptibility to the disease.
Scarlet fever is an illness that is caused by a bacterial infection. Rheumatic fever is an inflammatory condition that can develop if scarlet fever is not identified and treated early. Scarlet fever, if untreated, may develop into rheumatic fever.
Chronic pericarditis is inflammation of the pericardium (the flexible two-layered sac that envelops the heart) that begins gradually, is long-lasting, and results in fluid accumulation in the pericardial space or thickening of the pericardium. Symptoms may include shortness of breath, coughing, and fatigue.
ICD-10 Code for Acute pericarditis, unspecified- I30. 9- Codify by AAPC.
Acute pericarditis is a painful condition where the fluid-filled pouch around your heart is inflamed. This can happen because of infections, cancer or heart surgery.
It most commonly occurs in childhood, and can lead to death or life-long disability. Rheumatic heart disease can be prevented by preventing streptococcal infections, or treating them with antibiotics when they do occur.
Rheumatic heart disease is a chronic, disabling and sometimes fatal disease that is entirely preventable.
Inflammation caused by rheumatic fever can last a few weeks to several months. For some people, the inflammation causes long-term complications. One complication of rheumatic fever is permanent damage to the heart (rheumatic heart disease).
The major cause of death and disability from RHD is heart failure. Over time, scarred and damaged heart valves make it impossible for the heart to pump blood effectively. Without a well-functioning heart, fluid builds up in the lungs and body, causing symptoms like breathlessness, swelling and fatigue.
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 398.90 was previously used, I09.9 is the appropriate modern ICD10 code.
