Benign neoplasm of soft tissue of peritoneum. D20.1 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 D20.1 became effective on October 1, 2018.
How to Code the Active Neoplasm or Cancer 1. Go to the “Table of Neoplasms” in the International Classification of Disease (ICD) coding manual. 2. Find the anatomical site. 3. Choose whether the neoplasm is primary or secondary malignant, in situ, benign, of uncertain behavior, or of unspecified nature or behavior Important!

These ‘cancer’ cells are different from normal cells in the following ways :
The new codes are for describing the infusion of tixagevimab and cilgavimab monoclonal antibody (code XW023X7), and the infusion of other new technology monoclonal antibody (code XW023Y7).
Code C80. 1, Malignant (primary) neoplasm, unspecified, equates to Cancer, unspecified. This code should only be used when no determination can be made as to the primary site of a malignancy.
Benign neoplasms (D10-D36) The next section of the D codes covers the benign (/1) neoplasms.
ICD-10 code Z12 for Encounter for screening for malignant neoplasms is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Factors influencing health status and contact with health services .

Z codes are a special group of codes provided in ICD-10-CM for the reporting of factors influencing health status and contact with health services. Z codes (Z00–Z99) are diagnosis codes used for situations where patients don't have a known disorder. Z codes represent reasons for encounters.
Z12. 31 (Encounter for screening mammogram for malignant neoplasm of breast) is reported for screening mammograms while Z12. 39 (Encounter for other screening for malignant neoplasm of breast) has been established for reporting screening studies for breast cancer outside the scope of mammograms.
For example, Z12. 31 (Encounter for screening mammogram for malignant neoplasm of breast) is the correct code to use when you are ordering a routine mammogram for a patient. However, coders are coming across many routine mammogram orders that use Z12. 39 (Encounter for other screening for malignant neoplasm of breast).
ICD-10 code Z12. 39 for Encounter for other screening for malignant neoplasm of breast is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Factors influencing health status and contact with health services .
Colon cancer screening can detect polyps and early cancers in the large intestine. This type of screening can find problems that can be treated before cancer develops or spreads. Regular screenings may reduce the risk for death and complications caused by colorectal cancer.

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.
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.

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.
Classification of neoplasms is primarily by site ( topography) with broad groupings for behavior, malignant, in situ, benign, etc. The Table of Neoplasms should be used to identify the correct topography code.
All neoplasms are classified in this chapter, whether they are functionally active or not. An additional code from Chapter 4: Endocrine, Nutritional and Metabolic Disease may be used to identify functional activity associated with any neoplasm.
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.
