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).

Concussion without loss of consciousness, initial encounterS06. 0X0A 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 S06. 0X0A became effective on October 1, 2021.This is the American ICD-10-CM version of S06.
S06.0X0A0X0A for Concussion without loss of consciousness, initial encounter is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes .
959.01ICD-9-CM Diagnosis Code 959.01 : Head injury, unspecified.
A concussion is a type of traumatic brain injury—or TBI—caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head or by a hit to the body that causes the head and brain to move rapidly back and forth.
S06.9X0AUnspecified intracranial injury without loss of consciousness, initial encounter. S06. 9X0A is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
Our physicians have used IDC-10 code F07. 81 as the primary diagnosis for patients presenting with post concussion syndrome.
780.09 - Other alteration of consciousness. ICD-10-CM.
ICD-9 Code 850.1 -Concussion with brief loss of consciousness- Codify by AAPC.
The level of injury is based on the status of the patient at the time of injury, based on observable signs such as level of consciousness, post-traumatic amnesia and coma scaling. If the psychomotor Neurobehavioral Status Exam is completed, the provider should also utilize the CPT code 96116.
Short description: Open wound of scalp. ICD-9-CM 873.0 is a billable medical code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis on a reimbursement claim, however, 873.0 should only be used for claims with a date of service on or before September 30, 2015.
When a patient is treated for symptoms related to concussion within 24 to 48 hours and the diagnosis of "postconcussion syndrome" is documented, the coder should ask the physician if the concussion is still in the current stage and should be coded to concussion, 850 .x, rather than postconcussion syndrome, 310.2.
The patient may experience a severe headache and blurred vision after regaining consciousness. The patient usually recovers completely within 24 to 48 hours. Postconcussion syndrome, 310.2, describes a variety of symptoms that are likely to occur for a variable period following a concussion. These symptoms may last up to a few weeks after the concussion. The symptoms most...

TBI SCREENING:Code Z13.850 should be used if TBI screening occurs at a visit, whether or not the screening is positive. A TBI diagnosis code should not be entered for a positive screen since a positive TBI screen does not indicate a TBI diagnosis. A TBI diagnosis code can only be entered for the encounter at which the diagnosis is made.
IMPORTANT NOTE: This Fact Sheet denotes use of International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10) codes effective October 1, 2015. ALL PREVIOUS VERSIONS OF THIS FACT SHEET ARE RESCINDED.
USE of Z87.820 CODE:Z87.820 Personal history of traumatic brain injury was developed to indicate that previous TBI occurred and may impact current care. The Z87.820 code is not used in conjunction with the late effect codes; rather the Z code is used when no other code is available to reflect a previous TBI. Normally, the Z87.820 code is used to identify a personal history of injury with or without a confirmed diagnosis. A history of an illness, even if no longer present, is important information that may alter the type of treatment ordered.
The pairing of the symptom code and the late effect code is the ONLY WAY that symptoms can be causally and uniquely associated with TBI and is essential to the accurate classification of TBI.
CODING THE INITIAL ENCOUNTER:The ICD-10-CM codes will now provide the specificity of initial, subsequent, and/or sequela to describe the injury; however the seventh character of A will be used to identify the first time the patient is seen for the injury, regardless of when the injury took place. If an injury occurred in the past several months or even years prior but the patient has never sought treatment for the injury previously, the first time the patient is SEEN for the injury is considered the initial treatment.
Unspecified intracranial injury (TBI NOS)—requires an additional digit and a seventh character
Traumatic cerebral edema—requires two digits and a seventh character
A nonspecific term used to describe transient alterations or loss of consciousness following closed head injuries. The duration of unconsciousness generally lasts a few seconds, but may persist for several hours. Concussions may be classified as mild, intermediate, and severe. Prolonged periods of unconsciousness (often defined as greater than 6 hours in duration) may be referred to as post-traumatic coma (coma, post-head injury). (from rowland, merritt's textbook of neurology, 9th ed, p418)
S06.82- code to specified intracranial injury. Clinical Information. A concussion is a type of brain injury. It is a short loss of normal brain function in response to a head injury. Concussions are a common type of sports injury. You can also suffer from one if you suffer a blow to the head or hit your head after a fall.
You may also experience nausea, ringing in your ears, dizziness, or tiredness. You may feel dazed or not your normal self for several days or weeks after the injury.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM S06.0X9A became effective on October 1, 2021.
Use secondary code (s) from Chapter 20, External causes of morbidity, to indicate cause of injury. Codes within the T section that include the external cause do not require an additional external cause code. Type 1 Excludes.
Reporting codes for encounters for circumstances other than a disease or injury: Codes Z00-Z99 are provided so that codes for past diseases or other histories can be reported for the patient. Family history codes may also be pertinent for outpatient encounters. If a past history or family history has an impact or influences care and/or treatment in any way the history should be reported. HIA does have a document for “Z” codes that should ALWAYS be reported regardless of patient type unless there are specific facility guidelines that advise otherwise. Here are a few examples:
Chronic conditions should be reported on each visit when they are under treatment or are systemic medical conditions. Chronic systemic conditions should be reported even in the absence of intervention or further evaluation.
Chronic systemic conditions should be reported even in the absence of intervention or further evaluation. These conditions will affect patients for the rest of their lives or most of their lives and require continuous clinical monitoring and evaluation. Certain medications are not to be used if a patient has a certain condition or can’t be mixed when taking a certain medication. This should always be part of the physician’s medical decision making process.
If there is a specific code for a past or family condition, it will most likely always be reported. Code only confirmed diagnosis on outpatient encounters. Remember to report any long term use of specific medications. Sometimes it is the “Z” codes that will help meet medical necessity for outpatient testing.
