Other types of follicular lymphoma, in remission

This code signifies a specific subtype of follicular lymphoma, other than those explicitly classified, that is currently in a state of remission. Follicular lymphoma is a slow-growing non-Hodgkin lymphoma originating from B-lymphocytes, and "in remission" indicates that the signs and symptoms of the cancer have disappeared or significantly reduced due to treatment.

Apply this code when documentation specifies a diagnosis of "other types of follicular lymphoma" and explicitly states that the patient is currently in remission. This is typically used for follow-up encounters or surveillance after successful treatment for this specific follicular lymphoma subtype. Supporting documentation should clearly identify the type of follicular lymphoma and the current remission status.

• Always confirm the specific subtype of follicular lymphoma; avoid using this code for unspecified or other listed types.
• Ensure documentation explicitly states "in remission" or a similar term indicating the absence of active disease.
• Sequence this code as a secondary diagnosis when the patient is receiving active treatment for complications or sequelae of the lymphoma, or as a primary diagnosis for routine follow-up.
