C84.7 — Anaplastic large cell lymphoma, ALK-negative
C84.7 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for anaplastic large cell lymphoma, alk-negative. 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.
- primary cutaneous CD30-positive T-cell proliferations (C86.6-)
Excludes1 inherited from the categories above C84.7
These are not written on C84.7, but they bind it: a note on a category applies to every code beneath it. Billing C84.7 with anything listed here is a denial.
Other codes that can never be billed with C84.7
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at C84.7. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading C84.7 alone.
Risk adjustment
C84.7 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.
Code history
C84.7 has not changed since FY2024 — no addition, revision or deletion across the three most recent ICD-10-CM releases.
