About XW023W7
XW023W7 is the ICD-10-PCS code for a introduction procedure on the muscle using a percutaneous approach with COVID-19 vaccine booster (qualifier: new technology group 7). 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 XW013W7 (subcutaneous tissue).
With a different device, use XW023V7 (xanomeline and trospium chloride) and XW023Y7 (other new technology monoclonal antibody).
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 FY2022, effective October 1, 2021.
