Nodular sclerosis Hodgkin lymphoma, in remission

This code signifies a current state of remission for nodular sclerosis Hodgkin lymphoma, a common subtype of Hodgkin lymphoma characterized by fibrous bands and lacunar cells. Remission indicates that signs and symptoms of the disease have significantly decreased or disappeared following treatment.

Apply this code when a patient with a documented history of nodular sclerosis Hodgkin lymphoma is currently in a state of remission, as confirmed by physician documentation. This typically follows successful completion of chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or other definitive treatments. Documentation should explicitly state "in remission" or "history of nodular sclerosis Hodgkin lymphoma, currently in remission."

• Always sequence this code after any active treatment codes if the patient is still undergoing maintenance therapy.
• Do not use this code if the patient has active disease or a relapse; instead, use the appropriate code for active nodular sclerosis Hodgkin lymphoma.
• Distinguish from "history of" codes (Z85.71) which indicate a past history without current monitoring for remission.
