Other Hodgkin lymphoma, in remission

This code signifies a diagnosis of a specified type of Hodgkin lymphoma, other than nodular sclerosis, mixed cellularity, lymphocyte depletion, or lymphocyte-rich, that is currently in a state of remission. Remission indicates that the signs and symptoms of the lymphoma have significantly decreased or disappeared, often following successful treatment.

Assign this code when documentation clearly states "other Hodgkin lymphoma" and explicitly indicates that the disease is "in remission." This is typically used for follow-up encounters after initial treatment, where the patient is no longer actively receiving therapy for the lymphoma but is being monitored for recurrence.

• Always confirm the specific type of Hodgkin lymphoma from the pathology report or physician's documentation.
• Distinguish between "in remission" and "history of" – remission implies ongoing monitoring for potential recurrence, while history of suggests no current disease or expectation of recurrence.
• Do not use this code for active disease; instead, select the appropriate C81 subcategory code without the "in remission" fifth character.
