C81.2 — Mixed cellularity Hodgkin lymphoma
Is C81.2 billable?
No — C81.2 is a non-billable header code. C81.2 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 C81.2.

How is C81.2 listed in the Alphabetic Index?
These are the routes through the Alphabetic Index that lead to C81.2. They show the wording a clinician may have documented, which often differs from the Tabular description.
- Lymphoma › Hodgkin › mixed cellularity (of) (malignant)
- Lymphoma › Hodgkin › mixed cellularity classical (of) (malignant)
Inclusion terms
Alternative wording in documentation that is classified to C81.2.
- Mixed cellularity classical Hodgkin lymphoma
Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from C81
The conditions below can never be reported together with C81.2 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 C81.2, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, C81.2 and the excluded code may both be reported.
