New Technology Section Guidelines

E. New Technology Section

General guidelines E1.a Section X codes fully represent the specific procedure described in the code title, and do not require additional codes from other sections of ICD-10-PCS. When section X contains a code title which fully describes a specific new technology procedure, and it is the only procedure performed, only the section X code is reported for the procedure. There is no need to report an additional code in another section of ICD-10-PCS. Example: XW033CA, Introduction of zanidatamab antineoplastic into peripheral vein, percutaneous approach, new technology group 10, should be assigned to indicate that zanidatamab antineoplastic was administered via a peripheral vein. A separate code from table 3E0 in the Administration section of ICD-10-PCS is not assigned in addition to this code. E1.b When multiple procedures are performed, New Technology section X codes are assigned following the multiple procedures guideline. Examples: To identify the division of aortic valve leaflets using radiofrequency energy during a valve-in-valve transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), code X28F3WB, Division of aortic valve using leaflet laceration, radiofrequency energy, percutaneous approach, new technology group 11, is assigned along with a separate code for the TAVR procedure. To identify the administration of eladocagene exuparvovec-tneq using a temporary infusion device, code XW0Q316, Introduction of eladocagene exuparvovec into cranial cavity and brain, percutaneous approach, new technology group 6, is assigned along with a separate code to identify the insertion of the temporary infusion device.
