Wiki Morphology of Neoplasms

[BGoldsberry]

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone has experience using the Morphology of Neoplasm codes for billing purposes. Can they/should they be used for Part B claims? How are they used and reported on a HCFA? And lastly, will they be obsolete with the implementation of ICD-10?

I have been trying to find a clear set of guidelines to follow but I haven't found it yet. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.

morphology codes are never used on claims and are not for billing purposes. they are used by tumor registry. ICD-10 will not have an impact on the morphology codes.
