Valid for Submission
C41.9 is a billable code used to specify a medical diagnosis of malignant neoplasm of bone and articular cartilage, unspecified. The code is valid for the fiscal year 2021 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions. The ICD-10-CM code C41.9 might also be used to specify conditions or terms like bone tnm finding, bone tnm finding, bone tnm finding, bone tnm finding, bone tnm finding, carcinoma of bone, connective tissue, skin and breast, etc
The following anatomical sites found in the Table of Neoplasms apply to this code given the correct histological behavior: Neoplasm, neoplastic bone (periosteum) ; Neoplasm, neoplastic bone (periosteum) cartilage NEC ; Neoplasm, neoplastic bone (periosteum) cuneiform ; Neoplasm, neoplastic cartilage (articular) (joint) NEC [See Also: Neoplasm, bone] ; Neoplasm, neoplastic joint NEC [See Also: Neoplasm, bone] ; Neoplasm, neoplastic skeleton, skeletal NEC ; etc
