Personal history of malignant neoplasm of cervix uteri

This code indicates a patient's past history of cervical cancer that has been successfully treated and is currently in remission. It signifies that the patient no longer has active malignancy but has a historical diagnosis that may influence future medical management and screening.

Apply this code when documenting a patient's medical history after they have completed treatment for cervical cancer and are considered cancer-free. It is appropriate for follow-up visits, annual physicals, or when a history of cervical cancer is relevant to current care, such as for screening recommendations or risk assessment.

• Do not use this code for active cervical malignancy; use the appropriate C-code instead.
• This code is typically a secondary diagnosis, supporting the medical necessity of follow-up care or screening.
• Ensure documentation clearly states the cancer is no longer present and treatment is complete.
