Excludes1 — never code together
These conditions cannot occur together. Billing both on the same encounter is a denial.
Inclusion terms
Alternative wordings a physician may use in the chart for this same code.
- Intravascular large B-cell lymphoma
- Lymphoid granulomatosis
- Primary effusion B-cell lymphoma
Other codes that can never be billed with C83.8
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at C83.8. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading C83.8 alone.
- C83.390Primary central nervous system lymphoma
Risk adjustment
C83.8 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.
