ICD-10: Prostate Cancer Coding Mirrors ICD-9 Neoplasm Table Structure

Hint: You’ll apply the same PIN rules even when the codes change.
If you don’t have any trouble using the ICD-9 neoplasm table, you shouldn’t have a hard time transitioning to ICD-10 neoplasm codes when ICD-10 hits.
For example, here’s how the two code set options for malignant prostate cancer coding compare:
ICD-9: Under ICD-9, your prostate neoplasm options include:
Primary: 185, Malignant neoplasm of prostate
Secondary: 198.82, Secondary malignant neoplasm of genital organs
Ca in Situ: 233.4, Carcinoma in situ of prostate.
If you report prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PIN), you should use 233.4 for PIN III. But you should use 602.3 (Dysplasia of prostate) for PIN I or PIN II.
ICD-10: Your ICD-10 options offer up familiar terms:
Primary: C61, Malignant neoplasm of prostate
Secondary: C79.82, Secondary malignant neoplasm of genital organs
Ca in Situ: D07.5, Carcinoma in situ of prostate.
If you report PIN III, you should use D07.5. For PIN I or PIN II, you should use N42.3 (Dysplasia of prostate) instead.###
