ICD-9: 793.11. Short Description: Solitary pulmonry nodule. Long Description: Solitary pulmonary nodule. This is the 2014 version of the ICD-9-CM diagnosis code 793.11.
Thyroid nodules are classified to ICD-9-CM code 241.0, Nontoxic uninodular goiter. If a nodule is with hyperthyroidism or thyrotoxicosis, assign code 242.1x. A fifth-digit subclassification is needed to identify the presence or absence of thyrotoxic crisis or storm. The following are common types of benign and malignant thyroid nodules:
ICD-9-CM 793.11 is a billable medical code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis on a reimbursement claim, however, 793.11 should only be used for claims with a date of service on or before September 30, 2015.
The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM R91.8 became effective on October 1, 2020. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of R91.8 - other international versions of ICD-10 R91.8 may differ. Applicable To. Lung mass NOS found on diagnostic imaging of lung. Pulmonary infiltrate NOS.
ICD-10 code R91. 1 for Solitary pulmonary nodule is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .
A Current Procedures Terminology (CPT) code is a procedure such as an ABR or reflex testing. The International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (usually abbreviated as ICD) is in its 9th revision. The ICD-9 is a diagnostic code such as 388.30 for tinnitus, unspecified.

Non-Hodgkin lymphoma, unspecified, unspecified site C85. 90 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM C85. 90 became effective on October 1, 2021.
The primary site for nodal lymphomas is coded to lymph nodes (C770-C779). The primary site for extranodal lymphoma is coded to a site other than lymph nodes (primary sites other than C770-C779).
Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (also known as non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, NHL, or sometimes just lymphoma) is a cancer that starts in white blood cells called lymphocytes, which are part of the body's immune system.
Follicular lymphoma is a type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). NHL is a cancer of the lymphatic system. Follicular lymphoma develops when the body makes abnormal B lymphocytes. These lymphocytes are a type of white blood cell that normally helps us fight infections.
ICD-10 Code for Hodgkin lymphoma, unspecified- C81. 9- Codify by AAPC.
Lymphoma documented as “in remission” is still considered to be active lymphoma and should be coded from category C81 through C88.
In a concise statement, ICD-9 is the code used to describe the condition or disease being treated, also known as the diagnosis. CPT is the code used to describe the treatment and diagnostic services provided for that diagnosis.
CPT codes refer to the treatment being given, while ICD codes refer to the problem that the treatment is aiming to resolve. The two work hand-in-hand to quickly provide payors specific information about what service was performed (the CPT code) and why (the ICD code).
Current Procedural TerminologyThe Current Procedural Terminology (CPT®) codes offer doctors and health care professionals a uniform language for coding medical services and procedures to streamline reporting, increase accuracy and efficiency.
ICD-9 uses mostly numeric codes with only occasional E and V alphanumeric codes. Plus, only three-, four- and five-digit codes are valid. ICD-10 uses entirely alphanumeric codes and has valid codes of up to seven digits.
Pulmonary nodules are small oval lesions in the lungs that are detected through a CT scan. The lesion may be cancerous but are usually benign. They show no symptoms.
Code will be replaced by October 2015 and relabeled as ICD-10-CM 518.89.
793.11 is a legacy non-billable code used to specify a medical diagnosis of solitary pulmonary nodule. This code was replaced on September 30, 2015 by its ICD-10 equivalent.
Type 1 Excludes Notes - A type 1 Excludes note is a pure excludes note. It means "NOT CODED HERE!" An Excludes1 note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as the code above the Excludes1 note. An Excludes1 is used when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.
NEC "Not elsewhere classifiable" - This abbreviation in the Alphabetic Index represents "other specified". When a specific code is not available for a condition, the Alphabetic Index directs the coder to the "other specified” code in the Tabular List.
Code also note - A "code also" note instructs that two codes may be required to fully describe a condition, but this note does not provide sequencing direction.
NOS "Not otherwise specified" - This abbreviation is the equivalent of unspecified.
The term lung disease refers to many disorders affecting the lungs, such as asthma, COPD, infections like influenza, pneumonia and tuberculosis, lung cancer, and many other breathing problems. Some lung diseases can lead to respiratory failure.
is based on the World Health Organization’s Ninth Revision, International Classification of Diseases (ICD-9). ICD-9-CM is the official system of assigning codes to diagnoses and procedures associated with hospital utilization in the United States. The ICD-9 is used to code and classify mortality data from death certificates.
779.3 Disorder of stomach function and feeding problems in newborn 779.31 Feeding problems in newborn Slow feeding in newborn Excludes: feeding problem in child over 28 days old (783.3) 779.34 Failure to thrive in newborn Excludes: failure to thrive in child over 28 days old (783.41)
The V codes are provided to deal with occasions when circumstances other than a disease or injury classifiable to categories 001-999 (the main part of ICD), or to the E codes (supplementary classification of external causes of injury and poisoning), are recorded as “diagnoses” or “problems.” This can arise mainly in three ways:
242.40 is a legacy non-billable code used to specify a medical diagnosis of thyrotoxicosis from ectopic thyroid nodule without mention of thyrotoxic crisis or storm. This code was replaced on September 30, 2015 by its ICD-10 equivalent.
The following crosswalk between ICD-9 to ICD-10 is based based on the General Equivalence Mappings (GEMS) information:
Your thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland in your neck, just above your collarbone. It is one of your endocrine glands, which make hormones. Thyroid hormones control the rate of many activities in your body. These include how fast you burn calories and how fast your heart beats. All of these activities are your body's metabolism.
General Equivalence Map Definitions The ICD-9 and ICD-10 GEMs are used to facilitate linking between the diagnosis codes in ICD-9-CM and the new ICD-10-CM code set. The GEMs are the raw material from which providers, health information vendors and payers can derive specific applied mappings to meet their needs.
Types of Thyroid Nodules. Thyroid nodules are classified to ICD-9-CM code 241.0, Nontoxic uninodular goiter. If a nodule is with hyperthyroidism or thyrotoxicosis, assign code 242.1x.
18 P. 26. Thyroid nodules are abnormal growths or lumps on the butterfly-shaped gland located at the base of the neck that produces metabolism-regulating hormones. The nodules may be solid or fluid filled and benign or malignant. Symptoms.
If the lymph nodes around the thyroid gland are involved, then the fifth-digit subclassification of “1” will be assigned.
A near-total thyroidectomy is classified to code 06.39, Partial thyroidectomy. If a total thyroidectomy is performed, assign code 06.4.
The neoplasm code should be sequenced first unless the functional condition meets the criteria for principal diagnosis. Treatment. The most definitive treatment method for thyroid nodules includes surgery.
Although it is more aggressive than papillary cancer, it does not spread to the lymph nodes but may metastasize to the lungs and bones. • Medullary cancer (193) develops from the thyroid’s C cells and is more aggressive, harder to treat, and may spread to the lymph nodes or other organs.
It can be removed completely via surgery with a good prognosis. This type of thyroid cancer commonly metastasizes to the lymph nodes. • Follicular cancer (193) also develops in the follicle cells and can be completely removed with a good prognosis.
