Icd 10 for history of prostate cancer

On October 1, 2016, new codes were implemented in the ICD-10-CM. This was the first update since the original ICD-10-CM version was published in 2015. Among this update is a change to help identify different manifestations for prostate cancer.

To identify prostate cancer, diagnosis code C61 Malignant neoplasm of prostate was established, as well as “ “use additional code to identify” guidance for hormone sensitivity status and for rising prostate-specific antigen (PSA) following prostate cancer treatment .

The ICD-10-CM manual lists the following:

C61 Malignant neoplasm of prostate

              Use additional code to identify

              Hormone sensitivity status (Z19.1-Z19.2)

              Rising PSA following treatment for malignant neoplasm of prostate (R97.21)

The hormone sensitivity status codes include:

                Z19.1     Hormone sensitive malignancy status

                Z19.2     Hormone resistant malignancy status

When using diagnosis code C61, you can also add the additional codes for more specific identification. It should not be required to add the codes if they are not relevant. Some clearinghouses are requiring the use of the additional codes before claims are processed but this should not be the case.

The AUA has unlimited expert coding advice through the Coding Hotline which is part of the Practice Management Network.  For more information on the Coding hotline and other Coding Products please click here.
