Wiki sequencing primary & secondary cancers

[kseifert]

If the encounter equally treats both primary and secondary cancers, is there a sequencing rule?
Thanks in advance

According to some payers they require a certain sequencing per the drugs being given for treatment. As far as coding for E&M, i would have the primary cancer first and then metastatic sites following after.

Hi Annette,
the question came up while I was teaching, so no encounter
