When I read the FDA announcement about 7:30pm ET....I almost had a "personal accident" because I thought it was about LL. Then I noted that it was for Lilly's bamlanivimab and etesevimab administered together when I read the article:

Interesting that a dual-drug treatment gets two different codes - one for each. Didn't see that coming in one announcement. Then I looked over my notes and realized almost all the pieces of the ICD-10-PCS 2021 codes for COVID were nearly there.
The AZ/J&J is almost a 100% shoe-in.

The "Unknown mAB" is most likely "lenzi" which is gearing up for manufacturing right now. The tech transfer with their new CDMO is just starting....it took CytoDyn and Samsung Biologics a year to get it done....they are looking to be delivering by the end of the year. Still has to go through the manufacturing approval process.
