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.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM D27.9 became effective on October 1, 2021.
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, ...
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 neoplasm of ectopic tissue. Malignant neoplasms of ectopic tissue are to be coded to the site mentioned, e.g., ectopic pancreatic malignant neoplasms are coded to pancreas, ...
Ovarian Cysts. The ovaries are part of the female reproductive system. They produce a woman's eggs and make female hormones. Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs in or on an ovary. They usually form during ovulation, when the ovary releases an egg. They are usually harmless and go away by themselves.
D27.0 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of benign neoplasm of right ovary. The code D27.0 is valid during the fiscal year 2021 from October 01, 2020 through September 30, 2021 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions. The code D27.0 is applicable to female patients only.
Most ovarian cysts are small and don't cause symptoms. Women may not find out that they have them until they have a pelvic exam. If there are symptoms, they may include
Rarely, ovarian cysts can become cancerous. This risk increases as you get older. A health problem that involves ovarian cysts is polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Women with PCOS can have high levels of male hormones, irregular or no periods, and small ovarian cysts.
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.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM C79.61 became effective on October 1, 2021.
ICD-10 requires you to code to the greatest degree of specificity. If you have bilateral ovarian cancer, you should use BOTH the right ovarian cancer (C56.1) and the left ovarian cancer (C56.2) codes. The unspecified code (C56.9) might be appropriate for a patient diagnosed on biopsy if it is impossible to determine a site of origin.
The series 58950-58952 can only be used with ICD10 codes for ovarian, tubal or primary peritoneal malignancy. 58953-58954 may be used with any diagnosis. All describe various combinations of procedures commonly performed for advanced gynecologic cancers.
In 2018, the CPT code 38573 (Laparoscopy, surgical ; with bilateral total pelvic lymphadenectomy and peri-aortic lymph node sampling, peritoneal washings, peritoneal biopsy (ies), omentectomy, and diaphragmatic washings, including diaphragmatic and other serosal biopsy (ies), when performed.) was created to address situation where a Gyn Onc is asked to perform staging where another surgeon has performed the laparoscopic BSO ± hysterectomy.
For a laparoscopic BSO with staging (for a patient with prior hysterectomy, for instance), you can use the CPT code 38573 (Laparoscopy, surgical; with bilateral total pelvic lymphadenectomy and peri-aortic lymph node sampling, peritoneal washings, peritoneal biopsy (ies), omentectomy, and diaphragmatic washings, including diaphragmatic and other serosal biopsy (ies), when performed) with a -22 modifier. That would be billed with the laparoscopic BSO CPT code 58661 with the -59 modifier for a second surgery. With any -22 modifier, you would need to have an operative note and letter requesting increased reimbursement with the rationale, in this case the extra time and effort for “debulking”.
This code specifically excludes hysterectomy codes. If you perform a laparoscopic hysterectomy, BSO, debulking, the proper CPT code would be 58575 (Laparoscopy, surgical, total hysterectomy for resection of malignancy (tumor debulking), with omentectomy including salpingo-oophorectomy, unilateral or bilateral, when performed).
The operative report documentation should clearly describe the procedure and the reason for performing it. You should also append a distinct ICD code, such as C78.5, secondary malignant neoplasm of the large bowel.
Those procedures are included as “debulking”. 58957 is a code that is used for resection of recurrent gynecologic cancer. If you are doing a primary debulking then you should use 58952-58954 depending on what else is done.
