Long Description: Personal history of malignant neoplasm of eye. Version 2019 of the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code Z85.840. Valid for Submission. The code Z85.840 is valid for submission for HIPAA-covered transactions.
ICD Code C69 is a non-billable code. To code a diagnosis of this type, you must use one of the nine child codes of C69 that describes the diagnosis 'malignant neoplasm of eye and adnexa' in more detail. The ICD code C69 is used to code Nervous system neoplasm. A nervous system neoplasm is a tumor affecting the nervous system.

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. 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 ).
Z12. 11: Encounter for screening for malignant neoplasm of the colon.
CPT® provides different code sets to report excision of benign (11400-11471) and malignant (11600-11646) skin lesions/neoplasms.

A malignant neoplasm (NEE-oh-plaz-um) is another term for a cancerous tumor. The term “neoplasm” refers to an abnormal growth of tissue. The term “malignant” means the tumor is cancerous and is likely to spread (metastasize) beyond its point of origin.
Encounter for screening for malignant neoplasm of other sites. Z12. 89 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 Z12.
Z85. 3 can be billed as a primary diagnosis if that is the reason for the visit, but follow up after completed treatment for cancer should coded as Z08 as the primary diagnosis.
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.

For Medicare beneficiaries, use Healthcare Common Procedural Coding System (HCPCS) code G0105 (Colorectal cancer screening; colonoscopy on individual at high risk) or G0121 (Colorectal cancer screening; colonoscopy on individual not meeting the criteria for high risk) as appropriate.
The difference between a tumor and a neoplasm is that a tumor refers to swelling or a lump like swollen state that would normally be associated with inflammation, whereas a neoplasm refers to any new growth, lesion, or ulcer that is abnormal.
For example, lymphoma is a malignant neoplasm of lymphoid tissue, mesothelioma is a malignant neoplasm of the mesothelium, melanoma is a malignant neoplasm arising from melanocytes, and seminoma is a malignant neoplasm of the testicular epithelium.
When reading about health topics, you might come across the word “neoplasm,” which is actually another word for tumor. A tumor is a mass made up of cells that have divided abnormally. While being diagnosed with a neoplasm or tumor sounds ominous, it's important to know that not all are cancerous.

A type 1 excludes note is a pure excludes. It means "not coded here". A type 1 excludes note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as C69. A type 1 excludes note is for used for when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.
