What This Code Means

A slow-growing cancer of lymph cells (follicular lymphoma, grade I) that is currently in remission with no evidence of active disease.

Coding Tips

  • Use this code only when there is documented evidence of remission, either complete or partial
  • The 'A' character indicates remission status; continue monitoring even in remission as relapse is possible

Clinical Significance

Follicular lymphoma grade I in remission indicates the patient has achieved complete or partial remission from previously active disease. This code is critical for ongoing risk adjustment because follicular lymphoma is considered incurable with standard therapy and requires lifelong surveillance for relapse. Remission status does not eliminate the disease burden on healthcare resources.

Documentation Requirements

  • History of biopsy-proven follicular lymphoma grade I
  • Documentation of remission status (complete remission or partial remission) by the treating oncologist
  • Imaging or laboratory evidence supporting remission (negative PET/CT, normalized labs)
  • Ongoing surveillance plan documented
  • Date remission was achieved and duration
