If the Lymphoma is in remission you still code it because it has not been eradicated. Others such as Breast or Colon cancer can be cured. If eradicated and no longer being treated it then becomes a history of that cancer. I hope this helps a little.
I would use the V67.x, followed by the history code for continuing surveillance, since the cancer has been treated and no longer exists. During this follow-up visit, if the cancer has recurred and is documented, a diagnosis code should be used in place of the F/U code.
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, a code from category V10, Personal history of malignant neoplasm, should be used to indicate the former site of the malignancy.
In-active neoplasm or cancer is coded when a patient is no longer receiving treatment for cancer and the cancer is in remission by using the V “history of” code (“Z” code for ICD-10).

Merkel cell carcinoma is a very rare disease in which malignant (cancer) cells form in the skin. Sun exposure and having a weak immune system can affect the risk of Merkel cell carcinoma. Merkel cell carcinoma usually appears as a single painless lump on sun-exposed skin.

ICD-10 CM Codes Categorized as Complication or Comorbidity or Major CC. The dataset contains a list of all of the codes that are defined as either a complication or comorbidity (CC) or a major complication or comorbidity (MCC) when used as a secondary diagnosis.

The main difference between the two types of diseases is that MCC is a type of neuroendocrine tumor, which means its cells share features with cells that normally make hormones in the body. Melanoma starts in pigment-producing skin cells, called melanocytes.
(MER-kul sel) A special type of cell found right below the epidermis (top layer of skin). These cells are very close to the nerve endings that receive the sensation of touch and may be involved in touch. The cells also contain substances that may act as hormones.
Melanoma and Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) are both aggressive skin malignancies associated with immunosuppression and UV exposure. Merkel cell carcinoma, unlike melanoma, is exceedingly rare and relatively little is known about its epidemiology and prognosis.

ICD-10 stands for International Classification of Diseases, version 10. These codes provide a numbering system to allow all diseases to be characterized by sub-types. Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a neuroendocrine skin cancer with a higher propensity for recurrence and metastasis than melanoma or squamous cell carcinoma.
When a disease does not have a code that appropriately captures its management and treatment, multiple codes must be used to attempt to justify proposed therapies for insurance and billing approvals.

Merkel cell carcinoma C4A-. A carcinoma arising from merkel cells located in the basal layer of the epidermis and occurring most commonly as a primary neuroendocrine carcinoma of the skin. Merkel cells are tactile cells of neuroectodermal origin and histologically show neurosecretory granules.

All neoplasms are classified in this chapter, whether they are functionally active or not. An additional code from Chapter 4 may be used, to identify functional activity associated with any neoplasm. Morphology [Histology] Chapter 2 classifies neoplasms primarily by site (topography), with broad groupings for behavior, malignant, in situ, benign, ...
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.
