What is ICD-10 code C82.89?

C82.89 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for Other types of follicular lymphoma, extranodal and solid organ sites. A type of follicular lymphoma affecting organs outside the lymph node system, such as the liver, spleen, or other solid organs. It belongs to the ICD-10-CM chapter for neoplasms (c00-d49). C82.89 is a billable code, meaning it can be reported on a claim as a primary or secondary diagnosis when supported by documentation. C82.89 is part of the FY2026 ICD-10-CM code set published by the CMS National Center for Health Statistics and used on Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial claims in the United States.

Yes. C82.89 is a billable ICD-10-CM code that can be reported on professional and institutional claims as a primary or secondary diagnosis when the provider documentation supports the specific condition described. Billable codes in ICD-10-CM are coded to the highest level of specificity available for the documented diagnosis. C82.89 is current for fiscal year 2026 and remains in the active CMS ICD-10-CM code set published by the National Center for Health Statistics.

Which HCC does C82.89 map to under V28?

C82.89 maps to CMS-HCC V28 HCC 21 (Lymphoma and Other Cancers). The category numbers, labels, and conditions come from the CMS-HCC V28 model file for payment year 2026.

C82.88 — Other types of follicular lymphoma, lymph nodes of multiple sites: Nodal vs. extranodal distinction

C82.59 — Diffuse follicle center lymphoma, extranodal and solid organ sites: Specific diffuse type

C82.99 — Follicular lymphoma, unspecified, extranodal and solid organ sites: Less specific code

Is C82.89 an HCC code?

Yes. C82.89 (Other types of follicular lymphoma, extranodal and solid organ sites) maps to HCC 21, Lymphoma and Other Cancers under the CMS-HCC V28 risk adjustment model, with a source-labeled community non-dual aged reference coefficient of 0.671. Source-labeled code-level coefficients are references, not member totals. Actual contribution depends on complete member context, hierarchy and cleanup rules, interactions, and model year. HCC Buddy's RAF Calculator supports CMS-HCC V28 PY2026 and shows no score unless every required source and calculation check passes. It is billable for payment year 2026.

Coder answer: C82.89 is billable and maps to V28 HCC 21, Lymphoma and Other Cancers. Open it in the Code Book for the tabular path, RAF, and MEAT checklist.

These are source-labeled model coefficients, not member totals. A category may still be removed by hierarchy or model cleanup rules. Weights are not directly comparable across models: CMS-HCC V28 and V24 use Community, Non-Dual, Aged; ESRD uses the dialysis continuing-enrollee model; RxHCC is the Part D continuing-enrollee, non-low-income, aged weight (a larger scale than CMS-HCC). ACA/HHS has no single weight — it varies by metal level. Actual per-patient RAF contribution depends on member context, hierarchy and cleanup rules, interactions, and the model year used by the payer. V28 is the CMS-HCC model phased in over payment years 2024–2026; V24 remains available for historical review.

MEAT Criteria for C82.89

For C82.89 to count as a valid HCC diagnosis in a given encounter, the provider's documentation must show MEAT: Monitor, Evaluate, Assess, or Treat. A diagnosis from a prior year does not carry forward automatically, it has to be re-documented and supported each calendar year.

MMonitor: signs, symptoms, disease progression, or lab trending documented in the note
EEvaluate: test results, medication response, or physical findings reviewed by the provider
AAssess: explicit mention in the assessment or plan with acknowledgment of status
TTreat: medication, referral, procedure, therapy, or counseling tied to the diagnosis

Only one of M/E/A/T is required to support the code, but the documentation must be specific enough to show that the provider actually addressed C82.89 during that encounter, not just copy-forwarded from a problem list.

What This Code Means

C82.89 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other types of follicular lymphoma, extranodal and solid organ sites. A type of follicular lymphoma affecting organs outside the lymph node system, such as the liver, spleen, or other solid organs. C82.89 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for neoplasms (c00-d49), within the section covering malignant neoplasms of lymphoid, hematopoietic and related tissue (c81-c96).

Under the CMS-HCC V28 risk adjustment model, C82.89 maps to Lymphoma and Other Cancers (HCC 21) with a source-labeled community, non-dual, aged reference coefficient of 0.671. No V24 mapping is shown for C82.89; use the applicable model and payment year when reviewing the V28 mapping. V28 is the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model that reached 100% phase-in for payment year 2026, replacing V24 which was used during the PY2024–PY2025 transition. Source-labeled code-level coefficients are references, not member totals. Actual contribution depends on complete member context, hierarchy and cleanup rules, interactions, and model year. HCC Buddy's RAF Calculator supports CMS-HCC V28 PY2026 and shows no score unless every required source and calculation check passes.

This code is used when the lymphoma has spread to extranodal sites (non-lymph node locations). Because C82.89 maps to an HCC category, the provider's documentation must satisfy MEAT criteria (Monitor, Evaluate, Assess, or Treat) before the diagnosis is used for risk adjustment. When documentation is ambiguous, coders should issue a provider query rather than assume the highest-specificity variant.

HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, source-labeled coefficient references, and MEAT documentation criteria for C82.89 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.

Coding Tips

•This code is used when the lymphoma has spread to extranodal sites (non-lymph node locations)
•Document the specific organ(s) involved in the medical record for clinical clarity

Clinical Significance

Other types of follicular lymphoma involving extranodal and solid organ sites represents stage IV disease with unusual follicular lymphoma variants infiltrating organs outside the lymphatic system. Common extranodal sites include bone marrow, liver, gastrointestinal tract, and lungs. Extranodal involvement typically indicates more aggressive disease behavior and may require modified treatment regimens compared to purely nodal disease.

Documentation Requirements

✓Pathology confirming the specific follicular lymphoma variant at the extranodal site
✓Identification of specific organs involved
✓Biopsy confirmation of extranodal involvement (not imaging alone)
✓Stage IV staging documentation
✓Assessment of organ function at involved sites
✓Documentation of the specific 'other' variant type
