As of my knowledge cutoff in 2021, there were several COVID-19 diagnosis and procedure codes that were added or updated for use in 2021. These codes were created by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO) to improve tracking and reporting of COVID-19 cases and treatments. Here are some of the codes that were added or updated:
- Diagnosis Codes:
- U07.1, COVID-19, virus identified
- U07.0, COVID-19, virus not identified
- Procedure Codes:
- 5A1521Z, Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), peripheral veno-arterial, single cannula, continuous
- 5A1522Z, Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), peripheral veno-arterial, single cannula, intermittent
- 5A1523Z, Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), peripheral veno-arterial, double cannula, continuous
- 5A1524Z, Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), peripheral veno-arterial, double cannula, intermittent
- Vaccine Codes:
- 91303, Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine, mRNA-LNP, spike protein, preservative-free, 30 mcg/0.3mL dosage, diluted for intramuscular use
- 91304, Moderna COVID-19 vaccine, mRNA-LNP, spike protein, preservative-free, 100 mcg/0.5mL dosage, for intramuscular use
- 91300, Janssen COVID-19 vaccine, recombinant, adenovirus vector, spike protein, preservative-free, 5×10^10 viral particles/0.5mL dosage, for intramuscular use
It’s important to note that these codes are updated frequently as the situation with COVID-19 evolves, so there may be additional codes added or changed since my knowledge cutoff in 2021. It’s always best to consult the most recent official coding guidelines and resources for up-to-date information.
