neuroendocrine woes
I am trying to code a neuroendocrine tumor of unknown origin. if the code book says that C7A.1 is for any site, can I use that? Do we need to know the site.....
Hi Tricia,
I am assuming this tumor has metastasized?? And you are coding the findings??? You would apply C7B.8X(x) please refer to your ICD book.
> then it states to use additional code to identify any functional activity.
Our ICD book doesn't indicate to code the unknown primary site.
Hopefully this helps,
