Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, in remission

This code signifies a patient with a history of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) where the disease is currently undetectable or inactive following treatment. It indicates that the patient has achieved a state of complete or partial remission, meaning there is no evidence of active disease.

Apply this code when documentation explicitly states that a patient with a prior diagnosis of DLBCL is currently "in remission," "complete remission," or "partial remission." This is typically used for follow-up visits, surveillance, or when managing long-term effects after successful treatment. Supporting documentation includes pathology reports confirming DLBCL and subsequent clinical notes indicating remission status.

• Do not use this code if the patient has active DLBCL; instead, use the appropriate active disease code.
• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "in remission" for DLBCL; avoid using for other lymphoma types.
• Always sequence this code after any codes for current treatment or complications related to the lymphoma or its treatment.
