Other codes that can never be billed with C7B

  • C77Secondary and unspecified malignant neoplasm of lymph nodes
  • C78Secondary malignant neoplasm of respiratory and digestive organs
  • C79Secondary malignant neoplasm of other and unspecified sites
  • C79.2Secondary malignant neoplasm of skin
  • C79.5Secondary malignant neoplasm of bone and bone marrow

Code to one of these instead C7B

3 child codes. Green means billable.
