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 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 supplement offers guidance on how to code patients with the following: Documented e-cigarette, or vaping, product use associated lung injury. Assign a code for the specific condition, such as J68. 0, Bronchitis and pneumonitis due to chemicals, gases, fumes and vapors, includes chemical pneumonitis; J69.
Nicotine dependence, unspecified, uncomplicated F17. 200 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 F17. 200 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Nicotine dependence, cigarettes, in remission The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM F17. 211 became effective on October 1, 2021.

EVALI is not the only reason you may see a patient in relation to e-cigarettes or vaping. Toxicity from acute nicotine exposure is another issue that physicians have encountered. For instance, patients may have swallowed or breathed in e-cigarette liquid. Absorption through the skin or eyes is also possible.
The purpose of this document is to provide official diagnosis coding guidance for healthcare encounters related to the 2019 health care encounters and deaths related to e-cigarette, or vaping, product use associated lung injury (EVALI). This guidance is consistent with current clinical knowledge about e-cigarette, or vaping, related disorders.
Acute nicotine exposure can be toxic. Children and adults have been poisoned by swallowing, breath ing, or absorbing e-cigarette liquid through their skin or eyes. For these patients assign code:
