Current: Cancer is coded as current if the record clearly states active treatment is for the purpose of curing or palliating cancer, or states cancer is present but unresponsive to treatment; the current treatment plan is observation or watchful waiting; or the patient refused treatment.
For example, a patient had colon cancer and is status post-surgery/chemo/radiation. The patient chart notes, “no evidence of disease” (NED). This is reported with follow-up code Z08, first, and history code Z85.038 Personal history of other malignant neoplasm of large intestine, second.

Z85. 038 Personal history of malignant neoplasm of large intestine - ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Codes.
A screening colonoscopy should be reported with the following International Classification of Diseases, 10th edition (ICD-10) codes: Z12. 11: Encounter for screening for malignant neoplasm of the colon.
A family history of colon cancer means that you have an immediate family member (or multiple other family members) who've had colorectal cancer. This can put you at an increased risk for the disease.
Codes ICD9 153.5/ ICD10 C18. 1 (malignant neoplasm of appendix) is included in this code set. The code is included in the code set for colon cancer in both single level and multilevel clinical classifications software for ICD-9 developed by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality.
ICD-10 code: Z08 Follow-up examination after treatment for malignant neoplasm.

For example, Z12. 31 (Encounter for screening mammogram for malignant neoplasm of breast) is the correct code to use when you are ordering a routine mammogram for a patient. However, coders are coming across many routine mammogram orders that use Z12. 39 (Encounter for other screening for malignant neoplasm of breast).
If the patient presents for a screening colonoscopy and a polyp or any other lesion/diagnosis is found, the primary diagnosis is still going to be Z12. 11, Encounter for screening for malignant neoplasm of colon. The coder should also report the polyp or findings as additional diagnosis codes.
Personal history of malignant neoplasm of large intestine 1 Z85.03 should not be used for reimbursement purposes as there are multiple codes below it that contain a greater level of detail. 2 The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM Z85.03 became effective on October 1, 2020. 3 This is the American ICD-10-CM version of Z85.03 - other international versions of ICD-10 Z85.03 may differ.

A primary malignant neoplasm that overlaps two or more contiguous (next to each other) sites should be classified to the subcategory/code .8 ('overlapping lesion'), unless the combination is specifically indexed elsewhere.
A primary or metastatic malignant neoplasm that affects the colon. Representative examples include carcinoma, lymphoma, and sarcoma.
Malignant neoplasms of ectopic tissue are to be coded to the site mentioned, e.g., ectopic pancreatic malignant neoplasms are coded to pancreas, unspecified ( C25.9 ).

The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM C18 became effective on October 1, 2021.
The Table of Neoplasms should be used to identify the correct topography code. In a few cases, such as for malignant melanoma and certain neuroendocrine tumors, the morphology (histologic type) is included in the category and codes. Primary malignant neoplasms overlapping site boundaries.
A primary or metastatic malignant neoplasm involving the small intestine, large intestine, or both. Representative examples are carcinomas, lymphomas, and sarcomas.
A primary malignant neoplasm that overlaps two or more contiguous (next to each other) sites should be classified to the subcategory/code .8 ('overlapping lesion'), unless the combination is specifically indexed elsewhere.
Intestinal cancer is rare, but eating a high-fat diet or having crohn's disease, celiac disease, or a history of colonic polyps can increase your risk.abdominal pain or lumps, weight loss for no reason or blood in the stool can be symptoms. Imaging tests that create pictures of the small intestine and the area around it can help diagnose intestinal cancer and show whether it has spread .surgery is the most common treatment. Additional options include chemotherapy, radiation or a combination. nih: national cancer institute

For more context, consider the meanings of “current” and “history of” (ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines for Coding and Reporting; Mayo Clinic; Medline Plus, National Cancer Institute):#N#Current: Cancer is coded as current if the record clearly states active treatment is for the purpose of curing or palliating cancer, or states cancer is present but unresponsive to treatment; the current treatment plan is observation or watchful waiting; or the patient refused treatment.#N#In Remission: The National Cancer Institute defines in remission as: “A decrease in or disappearance of signs or symptoms of cancer. Partial remission, some but not all signs and symptoms of cancer have disappeared. Complete remission, all signs and symptoms of cancer have disappeared, although cancer still may be in the body.”#N#Some providers say that aromatase inhibitors and tamoxifen therapy are applied during complete remission of invasive breast cancer to prevent the invasive cancer from recurring or distant metastasis. The cancer still may be in the body.#N#In remission generally is coded as current, as long as there is no contradictory information elsewhere in the record.#N#History of Cancer: The record describes cancer as historical or “history of” and/or the record states the current status of cancer is “cancer free,” “no evidence of disease,” “NED,” or any other language that indicates cancer is not current.#N#According to the National Cancer Institute, for breast cancer, the five-year survival rate for non-metastatic cancer is 80 percent. The thought is, if after five years the cancer isn’t back, the patient is “cancer free” (although cancer can reoccur after five years, it’s less likely). As coders, it’s important to follow the documentation as stated in the record. Don’t go by assumptions or averages.
According to the ICD-10 guidelines, (Section I.C.2.m):#N#When a primary malignancy has been excised but further treatment, such as additional surgery for the malignancy, radiation therapy, or chemotherapy is directed to that site, the primary malignancy code should be used until treatment is complete.#N#When a primary malignancy has been excised or eradicated from its site, there is no further treatment (of the malignancy) directed to that site, and there is no evidence of any existing primary malignancy, a code from category Z85, Personal history of malignant neoplasm, should be used to indicate the former site of the malignancy.#N#Section I.C.21.8 explains that when using a history code, such as Z85, we also must use Z08 Encounter for follow-up examination after completed treatment for a malignant neoplasm. This follow-up code implies the condition is no longer being actively treated and no longer exists. The guidelines state:#N#Follow-up codes may be used in conjunction with history codes to provide the full picture of the healed condition and its treatment.#N#A follow-up code may be used to explain multiple visits. Should a condition be found to have recurred on the follow-up visit, then the diagnosis code for the condition should be assigned in place of the follow-up code.#N#For example, a patient had colon cancer and is status post-surgery/chemo/radiation. The patient chart notes, “no evidence of disease” (NED). This is reported with follow-up code Z08, first, and history code Z85.038 Personal history of other malignant neoplasm of large intestine, second. The cancer has been removed and the patient’s treatment is finished.
History of Cancer: The record describes cancer as historical or “history of” and/or the record states the current status of cancer is “cancer free,” “no evidence of disease,” “NED,” or any other language that indicates cancer is not current. According to the National Cancer Institute, for breast cancer, the five-year survival rate ...
The fear is, history of will be seen as a less important diagnosis, which may affect relative value units . Providers argue that history of cancer follow-up visits require meaningful review, examinations, and discussions with the patients, plus significant screening and watching to see if the cancer returns.
