ICD-10 Code C82.8A – Other types of follicular lymphoma, in remission (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code C82.8A – Other types of follicular lymphoma, in remission
What it is
This code identifies a documented history of other specified follicular lymphoma that is currently in remission. Use it when the lymphoma remains a relevant diagnosis, but active disease is no longer present.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. In remission, you would not expect clear evidence of active lymphoma, though prior disease may still be reflected in oncology follow-up notes, imaging, or surveillance records.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider explicitly documents other types of follicular lymphoma as in remission. It is appropriate for follow-up visits, surveillance encounters, or ongoing cancer history management when active treatment is not being given for current disease.
Do not use a generic follicular lymphoma code if the record specifies a more exact subtype and remission status. Confirm that the documentation supports remission rather than active, relapsed, or recurrent disease.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for active follicular lymphoma, relapse, or recurrence. Check documentation if the note only states a past history of lymphoma without confirming remission.
Coding tip
Verify both the lymphoma type and remission status in the provider note before assigning C82.8A.
