ICD-10 Code C81.3A – Lymphocyte depleted Hodgkin lymphoma, in remission (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code C81.3A – Lymphocyte depleted Hodgkin lymphoma, in remission
What it is
This code identifies a past diagnosis of lymphocyte-depleted Hodgkin lymphoma that is currently in remission. Use it when the record shows the disease is not active but remains clinically relevant.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Remission is typically supported by oncology notes describing no active disease, no evidence of recurrence, or post-treatment surveillance status.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents lymphocyte-depleted Hodgkin lymphoma as being in remission during follow-up or surveillance care. It may apply after treatment when the malignancy is no longer active, but the history still affects ongoing management. Check documentation if the remission status is unclear.
Do not use for
Do not use it for active lymphoma, suspected recurrence, or a history of Hodgkin lymphoma without documented remission. If the chart only says “history of” or gives no current status, check documentation.
Coding tip
Code remission only when the provider explicitly states it; do not infer it from completed treatment alone.
