C81 — Hodgkin lymphoma
Not billable
Is C81 billable?
No — C81 is a non-billable header code. C81 groups more specific codes and cannot be submitted on a claim. A valid ICD-10-CM code must be reported at the highest level of specificity available in its branch. Select one of the 60 billable codes beneath C81.

Excludes1 — never code together
The conditions below can never be reported together with C81 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
- personal history of Hodgkin lymphoma (Z85.71)
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from C81-C96
The conditions below are not part of C81, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, C81 and the excluded code may both be reported.

How long has C81 existed?
C81 has been in ICD-10-CM since at least FY2016, the earliest fiscal year on record here.
Derived from the official order files for FY2016–FY2026. FY2017 and FY2020 publish no order file, so those years are not covered.
Which codes are confused with C81?
ICD-10-CM declares these codes mutually exclusive with C81 — exactly one of each pair can be correct for a given encounter.
