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.
