Other specified types of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, in remission

This code signifies a patient with a documented history of a non-Hodgkin lymphoma that doesn't fit into more specific categories, and who 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.

This code is appropriate when a patient with a previously diagnosed, but unspecified, non-Hodgkin lymphoma is no longer exhibiting active disease and is under ongoing surveillance. Documentation must clearly state "remission" or "history of" with no evidence of current active disease for a non-Hodgkin lymphoma that cannot be classified to a more specific C82-C85.7 category.

• Always confirm the specific type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma if possible; this code is for "other specified types."
• Ensure documentation explicitly states "in remission" to differentiate from active disease or history of without current remission status.
• Do not use for unspecified non-Hodgkin lymphoma (C85.9-) or for Hodgkin lymphoma.
