The ICD-10 code for Hodgkin's lymphoma is C81. In the ICD-9 coding system, Hodgkin's lymphoma is represented by the code 201.9. These codes are used to classify and identify specific medical conditions for billing and statistical purposes.
Hodgkin's lymphoma is a type of cancer that affects the lymphatic system. The ICD10 code for Hodgkin's lymphoma is C81, which falls under the category of Malignant neoplasms of lymphoid, hematopoietic, and related tissue. This code is used to accurately identify and classify cases of Hodgkin's lymphoma for medical and statistical purposes.
In the previous coding system, ICD9, Hodgkin's lymphoma was identified by code 201.4. However, it's important to note that ICD9 codes are no longer used for reporting diagnoses in the United States, as ICD10 has been implemented since October 1, 2015. The transition to ICD10 allows for more specific and detailed coding, providing a better understanding of the disease and its variations.
Accurate coding using ICD10 is crucial for healthcare professionals, researchers, and policymakers to track and analyze the prevalence, treatment outcomes, and overall impact of Hodgkin's lymphoma on public health.
