Hodgkin lymphoma, unspecified, in remission

This code signifies a diagnosis of Hodgkin lymphoma where the specific subtype is not documented, and the disease is currently in a state of remission. Remission indicates that the signs and symptoms of the cancer have significantly decreased or disappeared, but it does not necessarily mean a cure.

Apply this code when the medical record explicitly states a diagnosis of "Hodgkin lymphoma, unspecified" and clearly documents that the patient is "in remission." This is typically used for follow-up encounters or surveillance after successful treatment where no active disease is present.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "unspecified" Hodgkin lymphoma and "in remission."
• Do not use this code if a specific subtype of Hodgkin lymphoma is documented; instead, use the appropriate subtype code with the "in remission" designation.
• Sequence this code as a secondary diagnosis if the patient is receiving treatment for a complication or sequela related to the past Hodgkin lymphoma.
