Wiki ICD-9: neuropathy due to chemotherapy

[arcosas]

My physician has documented "neuropathy secondary to chemotherapy".

I figure 357.6 is my neuropathy code, but I can't find the appropriate E-code. Or am I heading the wrong direction altogether? Thanks

Antineoplastic chemotherapy is E933.1.

Do you still use the E code even if the patient had received chemo years ago but still has the neuropathy due to past chemo?

No...instead, you would use V87.41, Personal history of antineoplastic chemotherapy.
