[1] You can detect rectal cancer by watching for symptoms and signs of the disease and by getting screening tests done by your doctor. Your doctor can then diagnose your condition and if you have rectal cancer, can recommend immediate treatments so you recover successfully.
The ICD code C20 is used to code Colorectal cancer Colorectal cancer (also known as colon cancer, rectal cancer, or bowel cancer) is the development of cancer in the colon or rectum (parts of the large intestine).
Colorectal cancer risk factors include:
Signs and symptoms of rectal cancer include: A change in bowel habits, such as diarrhea, constipation or more-frequent bowel movements Make an appointment with your doctor if you have any persistent symptoms that worry you. Rectal cancer begins when healthy cells in the rectum develop changes (mutations) in their DNA.
ICD-10 code C20 for Malignant neoplasm of rectum is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Malignant neoplasms .
If the rectum is included with the colon cancer, then assign code 154.0, Malignant neoplasm of rectosigmoid junction. Metastasis to the colon or rectum is classified to code 197.5. Carcinoma of the colon is assigned to code 230.3 while carcinoma of the rectum goes to 230.4.
C18. 9 - Malignant neoplasm of colon, unspecified. ICD-10-CM.
ICD-10 code Z85. 048 for Personal history of other malignant neoplasm of rectum, rectosigmoid junction, and anus is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Factors influencing health status and contact with health services .

Rectal cancer is a disease in which malignant (cancer) cells form in the tissues of the rectum. Health history affects the risk of developing rectal cancer. Signs of rectal cancer include a change in bowel habits or blood in the stool. Tests that examine the rectum and colon are used to diagnose rectal cancer.
ICD-10 code C18. 2 for Malignant neoplasm of ascending colon is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Malignant neoplasms .
Z12.11. Encounter for screening for malignant neoplasm of colon.

A primary or metastatic malignant neoplasm involving the rectum. A primary or metastatic malignant neoplasm that affects the rectum.
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.
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 ). A primary or metastatic malignant neoplasm involving the rectum. A primary or metastatic malignant neoplasm that affects the rectum.
Colorectal cancer (also known as colon cancer, rectal cancer, or bowel cancer) is the development of cancer in the colon or rectum (parts of the large intestine). It is due to the abnormal growth of cells that have the ability to invade or spread to other parts of the body.
C20 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of malignant neoplasm of rectum. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.
Screening colonoscopy: once every 24 months (unless a screening flexible sigmoidoscopy has been performed and then Medicare may cover a screening colonoscopy only after at least 47 months) Screening barium enema (when used instead of a flexible sigmoidoscopy or colonoscopy): once every 24 months.
For screening colonoscopies, fecal occult blood tests (FOBTs), flexible sigmoidoscopies, and barium enemas, coverage applies to all Medicare patients who fall into at least one of the following categories:
