ICD-10 Code C81.7A – Other Hodgkin lymphoma, in remission (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code C81.7A – Other Hodgkin lymphoma, in remission
What it is
This code identifies a history of other Hodgkin lymphoma that is currently in remission. Use it when the lymphoma is not active, but the diagnosis remains clinically relevant for ongoing follow-up.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Remission generally means there is no evidence of active disease, though the patient may still need surveillance for recurrence or late effects.
When to use this code
Use this code when the record specifically states other Hodgkin lymphoma is in remission. It may appear in follow-up visits, oncology surveillance, or problem lists after treatment. Confirm that the provider documents remission rather than active disease.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for active Hodgkin lymphoma, suspected recurrence, or unspecified lymphoma. Check documentation if the record does not clearly state remission.
Coding tip
Code remission only when the provider explicitly documents it; otherwise, query or check documentation.
