The ICD code C64 is used to code Renal cell carcinoma. Renal cell carcinoma (RCC, also known as hypernephroma, Grawitz tumor, renal adenocarcinoma) is a kidney cancer that originates in the lining of the proximal convoluted tubule, a part of the very small tubes in the kidney that transport waste molecules from the blood to the urine.
Malignant neoplasm of renal calyces - instead, use code C65.-
Use a child code to capture more detail. ICD Code C64 is a non-billable code. To code a diagnosis of this type, you must use one of the three child codes of C64 that describes the diagnosis 'malignant neoplasm of kidney, except renal pelvis' in more detail.
The ICD-10-CM Neoplasms Index links the below-listed medical terms to the ICD code C64. Click on any term below to browse the neoplasms index.
RCC is the most common type of kidney cancer in adults, responsible for approximately 90-95% of cases. Micrograph of the most common type of renal cell carcinoma (clear cell) - on right of the image, non-tumour kidney is on the left of the image. Nephrectomy specimen. H&E stain.
Secondary malignant neoplasm of kidney and renal pelvis 1 C79.0 should not be used for reimbursement purposes as there are multiple codes below it that contain a greater level of detail. 2 The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM C79.0 became effective on October 1, 2020. 3 This is the American ICD-10-CM version of C79.0 - other international versions of ICD-10 C79.0 may differ.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM C79.0 became effective on October 1, 2021.

Tests to diagnose kidney cancer include blood, urine, and imaging tests. You may also have a biopsy. Treatment depends on your age, your overall health and how advanced the cancer is. It might include surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation, biologic, or targeted therapies.
Kidney cancer becomes more likely as you age. Risk factors include smoking, having certain genetic conditions, and misusing pain medicines for a long time.
C64.9 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of malignant neoplasm of unspecified kidney, except renal pelvis. The code C64.9 is valid during the fiscal year 2021 from October 01, 2020 through September 30, 2021 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.#N#The ICD-10-CM code C64.9 might also be used to specify conditions or terms like 11p partial monosomy syndrome, acquired cystic disease associated renal cell carcinoma, adrenal gland involved by direct invasion of renal tumor, adrenal gland involved by metastasis from renal tumor, chromophobe renal cell carcinoma , clear cell carcinoma of kidney, etc.#N#Unspecified diagnosis codes like C64.9 are acceptable when clinical information is unknown or not available about a particular condition. Although a more specific code is preferable, unspecified codes should be used when such codes most accurately reflect what is known about a patient's condition. Specific diagnosis codes should not be used if not supported by the patient's medical record.
You have two kidneys. They are fist-sized organs on either side of your backbone above your waist. The tubes inside filter and clean your blood, taking out waste products and making urine. Kidney cancer forms in the lining of tiny tubes inside your kidneys.
pT3a: Tumor directly invades adrenal gland or perirenal and/or renal sinus fat but not beyond Gerota's fascia
C64.1 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of malignant neoplasm of right kidney, except renal pelvis. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.

Malignancy is coded based on the initial findings.Treatment of malignancy is the reason for admission.Copy original pathology report and file with the record.
Neoplasm codes are specific as to whether the location is the right or left organ when a tumor is present in an organ that exists bilaterally.
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.
assigned ONLY when the primary neoplasm has been previously excised or totally eradicated from its site and is no longer under any type of treatment.
Secondary malignancy. The tumor has metastasized (spread) to a secondary site (s), either adjacent to the primary site or to a remote organ or site. Carcinoma in situ. The cells are undergoing malignant changes but are confined to the origin and have not invaded any surrounding tissue.
In medicine the term morphology is also used to describe neoplasms, that is, the form and structure of the tumor in the organ.
1. The first (or left column) lists the anatomic site for the neoplasm.
If the documentation states the cancer is a metastatic cancer, but does not state the site of the metastasis, the coder will assign a code for the primary cancer, followed by code C79.9 secondary malignant neoplasm of unspecified site.
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, C80.1.
When coding malignant neoplasms, there are several coding guidelines we must follow:#N#To properly code a malign ant neoplasm, the coder must first determine from the documentation if the neoplasm is a primary malignancy or a metastatic (secondary) malignancy stemming from a primary cancer.
When a current cancer is no longer receiving treatment of any kind, it is coded as a history code. For instance, the patient had breast cancer (C50.xx) and underwent a mastectomy, followed by chemoradiation. The provider documents that the patient has no evidence of disease (NED).
