About C76.8
C76.8 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for malignant neoplasm of other specified ill-defined sites. It belongs to category C76 (malignant neoplasm of other and ill-defined sites), block C76-C80 (malignant neoplasms of ill-defined, other secondary and unspecified sites) and chapter 2 (neoplasms). It is billable, so it can be reported on its own for dates of service from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.
Within C76, choose C76.8 (other specified ill-defined sites) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: head, face and neck (C76.0), thorax (C76.1), abdomen (C76.2), pelvis (C76.3), upper limb (C76.4) and lower limb (C76.5).
It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.
In MS-DRG v44.0, it is part of the grouping logic for DRG 826 (Myeloproliferative Disorders or Poorly Differentiated Neoplasms with Major O.R. Procedures with MCC, relative weight 4.7581), DRG 827 (Myeloproliferative Disorders or Poorly Differentiated Neoplasms with Major O.R. Procedures with CC, relative weight 2.3896), DRG 828 (Myeloproliferative Disorders or Poorly Differentiated Neoplasms with Major O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC, relative weight 1.6955), DRG 829 (Myeloproliferative Disorders or Poorly Differentiated Neoplasms with Other Procedures with CC/MCC, relative weight 3.1281), DRG 830 (Myeloproliferative Disorders or Poorly Differentiated Neoplasms with Other Procedures without CC/MCC, relative weight 1.4859), DRG 843 (Other Myeloproliferative Disorders or Poorly Differentiated Neoplastic Diagnoses with MCC, relative weight 1.9453) and 2 more, in MDC 17 (Myeloproliferative Diseases and Disorders, Poorly Differentiated Neoplasms), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
Before ICD-10, this condition was coded in ICD-9-CM as 195.8 (malignant neoplasm of other specified sites).
