ICD-10 Code C81.1A – Nodular sclerosis Hodgkin lymphoma, in remission (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code C81.1A – Nodular sclerosis Hodgkin lymphoma, in remission
What it is
This code identifies a history of nodular sclerosis Hodgkin lymphoma that is currently in remission. Use it when the lymphoma is not active, but the diagnosis remains clinically relevant.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. In remission, you should not expect active lymphoma findings, but prior pathology or oncology records should support the subtype and remission status.
When to use this code
Use C81.1A when the provider documents nodular sclerosis Hodgkin lymphoma as in remission, including follow-up visits after treatment. It is appropriate when the condition is being monitored and no active disease is described. Check documentation if the record only states a personal history or surveillance.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for active nodular sclerosis Hodgkin lymphoma or when remission is not documented. If the record only shows suspected disease or history without remission status, check documentation.
Coding tip
Code the specific lymphoma subtype and remission status exactly as documented; do not assume remission from a completed treatment course.
