 By Brenda Ray, CCS, CCS-P, COC, AHIMA-Approved Trainer Since the beginning of the pandemic, there have been many code changes and updates related to COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2), with even more for 2021, including new ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes implemented on January 1, 2021. Among these is code Z20.822, contact with and (suspected) exposure to COVID-19, which previously required the code Z20.828. Pay attention to the specific dates around Z20.822 and Z20.828, as this will be critical for billing.
