VICC confirms that the correct code to assign for metastic melanoma at C4-C5 is C79. 5 Secondary malignant neoplasm of bone and bone marrow and that coding rules are not overridden to arrive at this code.
ICD-10 code C43. 9 for Malignant melanoma of skin, unspecified 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.
Malignant melanoma of skin, unspecified C43. 9 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 C43. 9 became effective on October 1, 2021.
ICD-10 code Z85. 820 for Personal history of malignant melanoma of skin is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Factors influencing health status and contact with health services .
ICD-10 Code for Malignant melanoma of other part of trunk- C43. 59- Codify by AAPC.
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.
Metastatic cancer has the same name as the primary cancer. For example, breast cancer that spreads to the lung is called metastatic breast cancer, not lung cancer. It is treated as stage IV breast cancer, not as lung cancer.

Malignant melanoma of skinICD-10 code: C43. 9 Malignant melanoma of skin, unspecified.
10 for Atherosclerotic heart disease of native coronary artery without angina pectoris is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the circulatory system .
ICD-10 code: K57. 92 Diverticulitis of intestine, part unspecified, without perforation, abscess or bleeding.
If the diagnosis is adenocarcinoma, the correct code is M-8140/3 "adenocarcinoma, NOS."
"NOS" is printed after topographic and morphologic terms that appear elsewhere in ICD-O with an additional modifying word or phrase. In the alphabetical index, "NOS" is listed, followed by the alphabetic listing of modifying words. Use the code for a term followed by "NOS" when:
In a few instances, "NOS" is also used to indicate that a particular term is used in a general sense. For example, "NOS" is printed after " endocrine gland " in "C75.9 endocrine gland, NOS" to indicate that other specific endocrine glands such as " pineal gland " and " pituitary gland " are also listed with their specific codes.
If a diagnostic phrase such as " atypical adenocarcinoma" is used, the code is also M-8140/3 because the adjective (atypical) does not appear in the list of terms modifying "adenocarcinoma." Thus, "NOS" is printed in both the numerical lists and the alphabetic index to indicate to the coder and to the decoder that other modifiers of the term are listed elsewhere.
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.
Secondary malignant melanoma of skin. Superficial spreading malignant melanoma of skin. Clinical Information. A primary melanoma arising from atypical melanocytes in the skin.
A primary melanoma arising from atypical melanocytes in the skin. Precursor lesions include acquired and congenital melanocytic nevi, and dysplastic nevi. Several histologic variants have been recognized, including superficial spreading melanoma, acral lentiginous melanoma, nodular melanoma, and lentigo maligna melanoma.
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, ...
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM C43.9 became effective on October 1, 2021.
The Table of Neoplasms should be used to identify the correct topography code. In a few cases, such as for malignant melanoma and certain neuroendocrine tumors, the morphology (histologic type) is included in the category and codes. Primary malignant neoplasms overlapping site boundaries.
