You may be curious about what the ICD-10 codes on your insurance statement mean. ICD-10 stands for the 10th revision of the International Classification of Diseases, which is a set of standardized codes for reporting diagnoses and medical conditions.
Essentially, after your doctor’s visit, the notes your doctor takes pass to a medical coder. They then transcribe what happened in the visit into a series of codes. These codes pass through medical billers and are sent to your insurance for reimbursement.
Other codes used by medical coders and billers include CPT, or Current Procedural Terminology, codes that describe medical procedures and services.
What your doctor diagnosed you with and the corresponding ICD-10 code in relation to myeloma remission and relapse are listed below. These are subject to change based on rules and regulations of medical billing and coding.
C90 Multiple Myeloma and Malignant Plasma Cell Neoplasms
C90.0 Multiple Myeloma
C90.1 Plasma Cell Leukemia
C90.2 Extramedullary Plasmacytoma
C90.3 Solitary Plasmacytoma
There are thousands more of these codes used in the medical coding and billing scene, which help transcribe the details of your doctor visit accurately so insurance knows what to bill for. If you have any questions regarding your insurance statement, it is recommended that you contact a service representative from your health insurance who can walk you through your explanation of benefits (EOB) statement. If you believe that you have found an error in the statement, don’t be afraid to ask for clarification about certain line items.
