Localization-related (focal) (partial) symptomatic epilepsy and epileptic syndromes with complex partial seizures, not intractable, without status epilepticus. G40.209 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2019 edition of ICD-10-CM G40.209 became effective on October 1, 2018.
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 code G40. 919 for Epilepsy, unspecified, intractable, without status epilepticus is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the nervous system .
Complex partial seizures (CPS) are the most common type of epilepsy in adults. These seizures can last between 30 seconds and 2 minutes. People having this type of seizure may appear to be daydreaming or staring blankly. They may not be aware of their surroundings.
Some people with epilepsy will have, or will one day develop, refractory epilepsy. This means that medicines don't work well, or at all, to control the seizures. If you have refractory epilepsy, the type of seizures you have may affect your treatment. Seizures may be: Primary (generalized) seizures.
When there is no impairment in consciousness, it is called a simple partial seizure, and when there is impairment in consciousness, it is called a complex partial seizure. Patients with simple partial seizures remain aware and awake throughout the seizure, and some patients can even talk during the episode.
A complex partial seizure is a type of seizure that arises in one lobe of the brain, rather than the whole brain. The seizure affects people's awareness and may cause them to lose consciousness.
With a complex partial seizure, the surge happens only on one side and in a specific area. It's called “partial” because only one part of your brain is affected. During this type of seizure, you may not be able to control your movements or talk. Afterward, you may not remember at all.
(reh-FRAK-tor-ee) In medicine, describes a disease or condition that does not respond to treatment.
This condition is also referred to as intractable, medically refractory, or pharmacoresistant epilepsy. As many as 20 to 40 percent of patients with epilepsy (roughly 400,000 people living in the United States) are likely to have refractory epilepsy.
There are four main types of epilepsy: focal, generalized, combination focal and generalized, and unknown. A doctor generally diagnoses someone with epilepsy if they have had two or more unprovoked seizures. Medication is the most common treatment, and two-thirds of adults with epilepsy live seizure-free because of it.
Experts now divide epilepsy into four basic types based on the seizures you're having:Generalized epilepsy.Focal epilepsy.Generalized and focal epilepsy.Unknown if generalized or focal epilepsy.
Tonic-clonic seizures may cause a person to lose consciousness, this may cause them to fall to the ground, have muscle jerks or spasms, and cry out. They are also called grand mal seizures. Absence seizures cause rapid blinking or staring into space for a few seconds. They are also called petit mal seizures.
The different types of generalized seizures are:absence seizures (formerly known as petit mal)tonic-clonic or convulsive seizures (formerly known as grand mal)atonic seizures (also known as drop attacks)clonic seizures.tonic seizures.myoclonic seizures.
Most types of seizures do not cause damage to the brain. However, having a prolonged, uncontrolled seizure can cause harm. Because of this, treat any seizure lasting over 5 minutes as a medical emergency.
Outlook. Once diagnosed, seizures — including complex partial seizures — can be managed through a variety of treatment options. In some cases, children will outgrow the seizures. If you think that you or someone you know is having seizures, it's important to talk to a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment.
If a SPS affects alertness, it is called a Complex Partial Seizure (CPS). CPS's are the most common manifestation of epilepsy. Both SPS's and CPS's can propagate to involve the whole brain and cause a generalized seizure, also known as a “Grand mal” seizure.

A disorder characterized by recurrent seizures. A group of disorders marked by problems in the normal functioning of the brain. These problems can produce seizures, unusual body movements, a loss of consciousness or changes in consciousness, as well as mental problems or problems with the senses.
Brain disorder characterized by recurring excessive neuronal discharge, exhibited by transient episodes of motor, sensory, or psychic dysfunction, with or without unconsciousness or convulsive movements. Epilepsy is a brain disorder that causes people to have recurring seizures. The seizures happen when clusters of nerve cells, or neurons, ...
Clinical Information. A brain disorder characterized by episodes of abnormally increased neuronal discharge resulting in transient episodes of sensory or motor neurological dysfunction, or psychic dysfunction. These episodes may or may not be associated with loss of consciousness or convulsions.
It is important to start treatment right away. There is no cure for epilepsy, but medicines can control seizures for most people. When medicines are not working well, surgery or implanted devices such as vagus nerve stimulators may help. Special diets can help some children with epilepsy.

The ICD code G402 is used to code Partial seizure. Focal seizures (also called partial seizures and localized seizures) are seizures which affect initially only one hemisphere of the brain. The brain is divided into two hemispheres, each consisting of four lobes – the frontal, temporal, parietal and occipital lobes.
In partial seizures the seizure is generated in and affects just one part of the brain – the whole hemisphere or part of a lobe. Symptoms will vary according to where the seizure occurs.
