C96Other and unspecified malignant neoplasms of lymphoid, hematopoietic and related tissue

C96 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other and unspecified malignant neoplasms of lymphoid, hematopoietic and related tissue. It belongs to block C81-C96 (malignant neoplasms of lymphoid, hematopoietic and related tissue) and chapter 2 (neoplasms). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 8 subcodes must be used instead.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: C96.0 (histiocytosis), C96.2 (neoplasm), C96.4 (cells)), C96.5 (histiocytosis), C96.6 (histiocytosis), C96.9 (unspecified), C96.A (sarcoma) and C96.Z (tissue).

Don't report C96 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: personal history of other malignant neoplasms of lymphoid, hematopoietic and related tissues (Z85.79).

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
