ICD-10 codes for Lymphoma
Lymphoma is coded primarily under C81, C82, C83 in the ICD-10-CM (Clinical Modification) classification. Top-level categories include C81 (Hodgkin lymphoma); C82 (Follicular lymphoma); C83 (Non-follicular lymphoma); C84 (Mature T/NK-cell lymphomas). The 2025 ICD-10-CM code set includes 469 codes related to lymphoma, of which 413 are billable (specific enough to appear on a medical claim).
Hodgkin lymphoma is coded under C81, while non-Hodgkin lymphomas span C82 to C88: follicular (C82), non-follicular (C83), mature T/NK-cell lymphomas (C84), other and unspecified (C85), other specified (C86), and immunoproliferative diseases (C88). Z85.71 / Z85.72 cover personal history of lymphoma subtypes.

What is the ICD-10 code for lymphoma?
The primary ICD-10-CM codes for lymphoma are C81, C82, C83. Across all sub-categories, 469 codes are grouped under lymphoma, with 413 marked as billable (specific enough for a medical claim).
How many ICD-10 codes are there for lymphoma?
There are 469 ICD-10-CM codes related to lymphoma. Of these, 413 are billable specific codes and 56 are non-billable header categories that organize the specific codes underneath them. Header codes cannot be reported on a claim by themselves.
Is there a billable ICD-10 code for lymphoma?
Yes. 413 of the 469 ICD-10-CM codes for lymphoma are billable. Common examples include C81.00 (Nodular lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin lymphoma, unsp site); C81.01 (Nodlr lymphocy predom Hdgkn lymph, nodes of head, face, & nk); C81.02 (Nodular lymphocy predom Hodgkin lymphoma, intrathorac nodes). Code to the highest level of specificity supported by the documentation.
Which lymphoma ICD-10 code should I use for billing?
The most commonly used billable codes for lymphoma include: C81.00 (Nodular lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin lymphoma, unsp site); C81.01 (Nodlr lymphocy predom Hdgkn lymph, nodes of head, face, & nk); C81.02 (Nodular lymphocy predom Hodgkin lymphoma, intrathorac nodes). The correct code depends on the documented clinical presentation, including any complications, episode (acute / chronic), and laterality where applicable. Always code to the highest level of specificity supported by the clinical documentation.
Is C81 a billable ICD-10 code?
No, C81 (Hodgkin lymphoma) is a non-billable header code. You need to use a more specific child code for billing purposes.
What are the SNOMED CT concepts for lymphoma?
The ICD-10 codes for lymphoma map to at least 25 SNOMED CT concepts. Examples of SNOMED CT concept IDs in this group include 118605002, 277610002, 1255785004, 1255786003, 1255803004. SNOMED CT is a clinical terminology used in electronic health records; AutoICD's coding API returns SNOMED CT IDs alongside each ICD-10 code via the include_snomed=true flag.
What UMLS Concept Unique Identifiers (CUIs) cover lymphoma?
The ICD-10 codes for lymphoma are linked to at least 25 UMLS CUIs in the National Library of Medicine's Metathesaurus. Sample CUIs include C0019829, C1334968, C2853711, C2853712, C2853713. UMLS CUIs unify the same concept across SNOMED CT, ICD-10, ICD-11, RxNorm, MeSH, and dozens of other source vocabularies.
What are other names for lymphoma in ICD-10?
Lymphoma may also be referred to as: lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, NHL, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. The same ICD-10-CM codes apply regardless of which term appears in the clinical documentation. Synonyms are surfaced by AutoICD's NER pass and mapped to the canonical ICD-10 family above.
