ICD-9-CM 186.9is a billable medical code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis on a reimbursement claim, however, 186.9should only be used for claims with a date of service on or before September 30, 2015.
Coding for Primary Cancer and Metastatic Cancers 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.

C08.9 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2019 edition of ICD-10-CM C08.9 became effective on October 1, 2018.
90: Malignant neoplasm of unspecified testis, unspecified whether descended or undescended.
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.
Code C80. 0, Disseminated malignant neoplasm, unspecified, is for use only in those cases where the patient has advanced metastatic disease and no known primary or secondary sites are specified. It should not be used in place of assigning codes for the primary site and all known secondary sites.
Malignant (primary) neoplasm, unspecified C80. 1 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 C80. 1 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Metastatic adenocarcinoma is a cancer that originates in glandular cells (mucus-secreting cells) such as milk ducts, the digestive tract, or lungs, and has spread or metastasized beyond the tissue in which it began.
C80. 1 - Malignant (primary) neoplasm, unspecified | ICD-10-CM.
A primary cancer is where a cancer starts. Sometimes cancer cells can break away from the primary cancer and settle and grow in another part of the body. This new cancer growth is called secondary cancer. Secondary cancers are also called metastases.
ICD-10 code Z51. 11 for Encounter for antineoplastic chemotherapy is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Factors influencing health status and contact with health services .
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.
A malignant neoplasm (NEE-oh-plaz-um) is another term for a cancerous tumor. The term “neoplasm” refers to an abnormal growth of tissue. The term “malignant” means the tumor is cancerous and is likely to spread (metastasize) beyond its point of origin.
When a patient is admitted because of a primary neoplasm with metastasis and treatment is directed toward the secondary site only, the secondary neoplasm is designated as the principal diagnosis even though the primary malignancy is still present.
The initial draft hierarchy organizes the neoplasm core set under three main headings (malignant, benign, and uncertain/mixed), with limited cross-listing. Several simplified hierarchies may well be needed; user input will be important in deciding on the most useful organization and scope for these.
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).
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 C79.89 became effective on October 1, 2021.
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 C08.9 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, ...
