9 Anemia, Unspecified. ICD-Code D64. 9 is a billable ICD-10 code used for healthcare diagnosis reimbursement of Anemia, Unspecified.
When the admission/encounter is for management of an anemia associated with the malignancy, and the treatment is only for anemia, the appropriate code for the malignancy is sequenced as the principal or first-listed diagnosis followed by code D63. 0, Anemia in neoplastic disease.
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.

Acute anemia occurs when there is an abrupt drop in RBCs, most often by hemolysis or acute hemorrhage. Chronic anemia, on the other hand, is generally a gradual decline in RBCs, and causes include iron or other nutritional deficiencies, chronic diseases, drug-induced, and other causes.
ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code D55 D55.
Symptomatic anemia exists when hemoglobin content is less than meets the oxygen-carrying demands of the body. If anemia develops slowly, there may be no functional impairment even though the hemoglobin is less than 7 g/100/dL of blood. Anemia is not a disease but a symptom of other illnesses.
When admission/encounter is for management of an anemia associated with the malignancy, and the treatment is only for anemia, the appropriate code for the malignancy is sequenced as the principal or first-listed diagnosis followed by code D63. 0, Anemia in neoplastic disease.
Remember: When the reason for the encounter is to manage anemia for an adverse effect, sequence the anemia code first, the malignancy code second, and adverse effect code third.
➢ Malignancy is sequenced as the principal/first listed diagnosis when anemia is being treated. ➢ Adverse effect of chemotherapy or immunotherapy and the treatment is only for anemia; code the anemia as principal/first listed followed by the neoplasm and include the adverse effect. chemotherapy.
The rest are called non-hodgkin lymphoma. Non-hodgkin lymphomas begin when a type of white blood cell, called a t cell or b cell, becomes abnormal. The cell divides again and again, making more and more abnormal cells. These abnormal cells can spread to almost any other part of the body.
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 malignant (clonal) proliferation of b- lymphocytes or t- lymphocytes which involves the lymph nodes, bone marrow and/or extranodal sites. This category includes non-hodgkin lymphomas and hodgkin lymphomas. A malignant neoplasm composed of lymphocytes of b- or t/nk-cell phenotype.
There are two basic categories of lymphomas. One kind is hodgkin lymphoma, which is marked by the presence of a type of cell called the reed-sternberg cell. The other category is non-hodgkin lymphomas, which includes a large, diverse group of cancers of immune system cells.
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.
These abnormal cells can spread to almost any other part of the body. Most of the time, doctor s can't determine why a person gets non-hodgkin lymphoma. Non-hodgkin lymphoma can cause many symptoms, such as. swollen, painless lymph nodes in the neck, armpits or groin.
Note: If B-cell lineage or involvement is mentioned in conjunction with a specific lymphoma, code to the more specific description.
Note: If B-cell lineage or involvement is mentioned in conjunction with a specific lymphoma, code to the more specific description.
When an episode of care involves the surgical removal of a neoplasm, primary or secondary site, followed by adjunct chemotherapy or radiation treatment during the same episode of care , the neoplasm code should be assigned as principal or first-listed diagnosis, using codes in the 140-198 series or where appropriate in the 200-203 series.
When admission/encounter is for management of an anemia associated with the malignancy, and the treatment is only for anemia, the appropriate anemia code (such as code 285.22, Anemia in neoplastic disease) is designated at the principal diagnosis and is followed by the appropriate code(s) for the malignan cy.
When a patient is admitted for the purpose of radiotherapy, immunotherapy or chemotherapy and develops complications such as uncontrolled nausea and vomiting or dehydration, the principal or first-listed diagnosis is

For Lymphoma, the guidance is do not assign a code for personal history unless the physician specifically documents that the patient has no evidence of disease AND that the lymphoma is now "history of" and not active.
For Leukemia, the Navigator explains patients with leukemia are seldom found to have no disease so it's rare to use a history code for them. And advises not to use a "history of" code for patients in Remission. Be sure to use Remission codes. Hope that helps.
All information indicates that Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma is a "chronic condition" and should be coded from the "C" section of ICD10. There are no "remission" codes but there is a "Z" code for "Personal History of". I am confused with the information as it seems to contradict itself, once you have this type of Lymphoma there is no cure, ...
You are correct that Lymphoma is a systemic disease so you have always have it . Lymphomas are coded from the C81 to C88 categories in ICD-10. I was taught to code it active based on the current or most recent site (s) of disease and to never be coded to history UNLESS the physician specifically states that the patient is completely disease-free ...
