Z12. 2 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. What is the 10cm ICD Cancer Diagnosis Code?
Any mention of extension, invasion, or metastasis to another site is coded as a secondary malignant neoplasm to that site. The secondary site may be the principal or first-listed with the Z85 code used as a secondary code.
ICD-10 code C78. 00 for Secondary malignant neoplasm of unspecified lung is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Malignant neoplasms .
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM C79. 9 became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of C79.
Basic DifferencesMalignantSecondary or MetastaticLungC34.9C78.0
Secondary lung cancer is when a cancer that started somewhere else in the body has spread to the lung. to another part of the body, where they can form a new tumour. This is called a secondary cancer. Secondary cancers are also called metastases (pronounced met-ass-ta-sees).
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.
When coding malignant neoplasms, there are several coding guidelines we must follow: To properly code a malignant 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.
Note: There are codes for cancer of C80. 1 Malignant (primary) neoplasm, unspecified and C79. 9 Secondary malignant neoplasm of unspecified site. A diagnosis of metastatic cancer not otherwise specified (NOS) is used most often when diagnostic tests were not completed.
The spread of cancer cells from the place where they first formed to another part of the body. In metastasis, cancer cells break away from the original (primary) tumor, travel through the blood or lymph system, and form a new tumor in other organs or tissues of the body.

Squamous cell carcinoma - a very common form of nonmelanoma skin cancer that originates in the squamous cells - becomes metastatic when it spreads (metastasizes) beyond the primary cancer site and affects other areas of the body.

Note. Functional activity; 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.

ICD-10-CM Chapter 2: Neoplasms (C00-D49) The neoplasm chapter contains the codes for most benign and all malignant neoplasms. Certain benign neoplasms such as prostatic adenomas maybe found in the specific body system chapters. To properly code a neoplasm, it is necessary to determine from the record if the neoplasm is benign, in-situ, malignant or of uncertain histologic behavior.

For liver cancers, there are eight codes in the ICD-10-CM, with 6 of the codes designating a specified histology.
In the example provided here, there is a left UOQ female breast cancer patient with positive lymph nodes coded using ICD-10-CM - 50.412 code and the appropriate lymph node code, which is C77.3, Secondary and unspecified malignant neoplasm of axilla and upper limb lymph nodes.
The 5th character is the sex code, while the 6th character is the laterality code. Since the 5th character designates the sex, the breast cancer codes are applicable for both men and women. Note: ICD-10-CM uses “2” for males and “1” for females.
Secondary neoplasms are those that are not the primary. Many of these include metastatic disease and may be coded in addition to the primary neoplasm code.
For Kaposi sarcoma, there are 8 codes in the ICD-10-CM. The codes breakdown the site of the Kaposi sarcoma.
For mesothelial and soft tissue cancers, there are 5 codes in the ICD-10-CM with 4 of the codes designating the location of the mesothelioma.
There are three main categories for skin neoplasms in ICD-10-CM. C43 is for malignant melanomas, C4a for Merkel cell carcinoma and C44 for other and unspecified malignant neoplasms of skin. Laterality codes apply to many of the skin sites (0 = unspecified, 1 = right, 2 = left).
When a primary malignancy has been previously excised or eradicated from its site and there is no further treatment directed to that site and there is no evidence of any existing primary malignancy at that site, a code from category Z85, Personal history of malignant neoplasm, should be used to indicate the former site of the malignancy. Any mention of extension, invasion, or metastasis to another site is coded as a secondary malignant neoplasm to that site. The secondary site may be the principal or first-listed with the Z85 code used as a secondary code.
Chapter 2 of the ICD-10-CM contains the codes for most benign and all malignant neoplasms. Certain benign neoplasms , such as prostatic adenomas, may be found in the specific body system chapters. To properly code a neoplasm, it is necessary to determine from the record if the neoplasm is benign, in-situ, malignant, or of uncertain histologic behavior. If malignant, any secondary ( metastatic) sites should also be determined.
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. 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.
When a pregnant woman has a malignant neoplasm, a code from subcategory O9A.1 -, malignant neoplasm complicating pregnancy, childbirth, and the puerperium, should be sequenced first, followed by the appropriate code from Chapter 2 to indicate the type of neoplasm. Encounter for complication associated with a neoplasm.
When the reason for admission/encounter is to determine the extent of the malignancy, or for a procedure such as paracentesis or thoracentesis, the primary malignancy or appropriate metastatic site is designated as the principal or first-listed diagnosis, even though chemotherapy or radiotherapy is administered.
These guidelines, developed by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services ( CMS) and the National Center for Health Statistics ( NCHS) are a set of rules developed to assist medical coders in assigning the appropriate codes. The guidelines are based on the coding and sequencing instructions from the Tabular List and the Alphabetic Index in ICD-10-CM.
When a primary malignancy has been excised but further treatment, such as an additional surgery for the malignancy, radiation therapy or chemotherapy is directed to that site, the primary malignancy code should be used until treatment is completed.

This is the official approximate match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code C78.39 and a single ICD9 code, 197.3 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
For liver cancers, there are eight codes in the ICD-10-CM, with 6 of the codes designating a specified histology.
