ICD-10 Code C81.0A – Nodular lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin lymphoma, in remission (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code C81.0A – Nodular lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin lymphoma, in remission
What it is
This code identifies a history of nodular lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin lymphoma that is currently in remission. Use it when the lymphoma has been treated and there is no active disease documented.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Remission usually means there is no evidence of active lymphoma on current evaluation, imaging, or follow-up notes.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider clearly documents nodular lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin lymphoma as being in remission. It fits follow-up visits, survivorship care, and records that state the disease is inactive. If the note only says “history of” without remission status, check documentation.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for active nodular lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin lymphoma, suspected disease, or unspecified Hodgkin lymphoma. If the chart does not confirm remission, do not assume it.
Coding tip
Code remission only when the provider explicitly documents it; otherwise, verify the current disease status.
