C83.7 — Burkitt lymphoma
C83.7 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for burkitt lymphoma. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below.
Excludes1 — never code together
These conditions cannot occur together. Billing both on the same encounter is a denial.
- mature B-cell leukemia Burkitt type (C91.A-)
Inclusion terms
Alternative wordings a physician may use in the chart for this same code.
- Atypical Burkitt lymphoma
- Burkitt-like lymphoma
Other codes that can never be billed with C83.7
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at C83.7. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading C83.7 alone.
Risk adjustment
C83.7 does not map to an HCC and does not risk-adjust under CMS-HCC V28. That is normal — most ICD-10 codes do not. It still needs to be coded correctly; it just will not move a RAF score.
