What are ICD-10 Codes in Myeloma Insurance Billing?
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.
