About XW023T6

XW023T6 is the ICD-10-PCS code for a introduction procedure on the muscle using a percutaneous approach with COVID-19 vaccine dose 2 (qualifier: new technology group 6). In ICD-10-PCS, introduction means putting in or on a therapeutic, diagnostic, nutritional, physiological, or prophylactic substance except blood or blood products.

For a different body part, codes include XW013T6 (subcutaneous tissue).

With a different device, use XW023S6 (iobenguane I-131 antineoplastic) and XW023U6 (COVID-19 vaccine).

It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.

It was added in FY2021, effective October 1, 2020.
