About coding lymphoma screening
The ICD-10-CM code for lymphoma screening is Z12.89 (Encounter for screening for malignant neoplasm of other sites).
Within Z12.8, choose Z12.89 (other sites) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: oral cavity (Z12.81), nervous system (Z12.82) and skin (Z12.83).
Use an additional code to identify any family history of malignant neoplasm (Z80.-).
It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.
