Prsnl hx of malig neoplm of lymphoid, hematpoetc & rel tiss

This code signifies that a patient has a past medical history of a malignant neoplasm affecting the lymphoid, hematopoietic, or related tissues, other than those specifically excluded. This means the patient has completed treatment for the primary malignancy and is currently free of disease, but the history of the cancer is still relevant for ongoing care and risk assessment.

Apply this code when documenting a patient's history of a successfully treated lymphoma, leukemia (excluding plasma cell leukemia), or other related hematologic malignancy that is currently in remission or cured. It is appropriate for follow-up visits, screenings, or when the history impacts current treatment decisions for unrelated conditions. Do not use for active disease or for conditions specifically excluded.

• Ensure the patient is no longer receiving active treatment for the malignancy and there is no evidence of current disease.
• Review the patient's medical record carefully to confirm the specific type of lymphoid, hematopoietic, or related tissue cancer to ensure it's not one of the excluded conditions.
• This code is typically used as a secondary diagnosis to provide context for current medical care.
