Personal history of malignant neoplasm of prostate

This code signifies a patient's past diagnosis of prostate cancer that has been successfully treated and is currently in remission. It indicates a history of malignancy without evidence of current disease, recurrence, or metastasis.

Apply this code for patients who have completed treatment for prostate cancer and are now considered cancer-free. It is appropriate for ongoing surveillance visits where the primary purpose is monitoring for recurrence, rather than active treatment.

• Do not use this code if the patient is currently undergoing active treatment for prostate cancer.
• Pair this code with a screening or surveillance encounter code (e.g., Z08.2) when appropriate.
• Ensure documentation clearly states the patient's prostate cancer is in remission or resolved.
