Secondary bone cancer – This means the cancer started in another part of the body but has now spread (metastasised) to the bone. It may also be called metastatic bone cancer, bone metastases or bone mets.
If the site of the primary cancer is not documented, the coder will assign a code for the metastasis first, followed by C80. 1 malignant (primary) neoplasm, unspecified. For example, if the patient was being treated for metastatic bone cancer, but the primary malignancy site is not documented, assign C79. 51, C80.

When a primary malignancy has been previously excised or eradicated from its site and there is no further treatment directed to that site and there is no evidence of any existing primary malignancy at that site, a code from category Z85, Personal history of malignant neoplasm, should be used to indicate the former site of the malignancy. Any mention of extension, invasion, or metastasis to another site is coded as a secondary malignant neoplasm to that site. The secondary site may be the principal or first-listed with the Z85 code used as a secondary code.
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. For multiple neoplasms of the same site that are not contiguous such as tumors in different quadrants of the same breast, codes for each site should be assigned.
The neoplasm table in the Alphabetic Index should be referenced first. However, if the histological term is documented, that term should be referenced first, rather than going immediately to the Neoplasm Table, in order to determine which column in the Neoplasm Table is appropriate. Alphabetic Index to review the entries under this term and the instructional note to “see also neoplasm, by site, benign.” The table provides the proper code based on the type of neoplasm and the site. It is important to select the proper column in the table that corresponds to the type of neoplasm. The Tabular List should then be referenced to verify that the correct code has been selected from the table and that a more specific site code does not exist.
Chapter 2 of the ICD-10-CM contains the codes for most benign and all malignant neoplasms. Certain benign neoplasms , such as prostatic adenomas, may be found in the specific body system chapters. To properly code a neoplasm, it is necessary to determine from the record if the neoplasm is benign, in-situ, malignant, or of uncertain histologic behavior. If malignant, any secondary ( metastatic) sites should also be determined.
When a pregnant woman has a malignant neoplasm, a code from subcategory O9A.1 -, malignant neoplasm complicating pregnancy, childbirth, and the puerperium, should be sequenced first, followed by the appropriate code from Chapter 2 to indicate the type of neoplasm. Encounter for complication associated with a neoplasm.
When the reason for admission/encounter is to determine the extent of the malignancy, or for a procedure such as paracentesis or thoracentesis, the primary malignancy or appropriate metastatic site is designated as the principal or first-listed diagnosis, even though chemotherapy or radiotherapy is administered.
When a patient is admitted because of a primary neoplasm with metastasis and treatment is directed toward the secondary site only , the secondary neoplasm is designated as the principal diagnosis even though the primary malignancy is still present .
The thoracic vertebrae are more commonly involved then the cervical or lumbar. Other common bones include the ribs, skull, pelvis, femur, clavical, and scapula.
C400-C419. Primary site must be bone (C400-C419). The most common bones involved are the vertebrae. The thoracic vertebrae are more commonly involved then the cervical or lumbar. Other common bones include the ribs, skull, pelvis, femur, clavical, and scapula.
Note : Here neoplasm should be coded primary as per the code first note with D63.0
O90.81 – Postpartum Anemia, this is applicable only in case of anemia not pre-existing prior to delivery
P61.3 – Congenital anemia in new born babies as a result of intra uterine blood loss during delivery.
D63.8 – Anemia in other chronic diseases
There are plenty of ICD 10 codes for anemia depending on the cause. As it is not possible to mention all the codes here, just given a screenshot below on how to search the code through ICD-10 CM manual index.
Correct code should be assigned as per the reason of anemia whether it is due to neoplasm or chemotherapy. Neoplasm should be coded primary if the anemia is due to neoplasm. Anemia should go primary if it is due to chemotherapy.
There are specific guidelines to code anemia when it is incorporating with another disease. We need to use specific ICD 10 code as per the reason of anemia and sequence correctly. In such cases, it is important to have clear documentation in the medical record regarding the reason for anemia. Coder may query the provider if the reason is not specified. We will see the Anemia ICD 10 guidelines with example.
