C81.0 — Nodular lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin lymphoma
Is C81.0 billable?
No — C81.0 is a non-billable header code. C81.0 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 11 billable codes beneath C81.0.

How is C81.0 listed in the Alphabetic Index?
These are the routes through the Alphabetic Index that lead to C81.0. They show the wording a clinician may have documented, which often differs from the Tabular description.
- Lymphoma › Hodgkin › nodular › lymphocyte predominant (of) (malignant)
Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from C81
The conditions below can never be reported together with C81.0 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 C81.0, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, C81.0 and the excluded code may both be reported.

How long has C81.0 existed?
C81.0 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.
