Code Classification

  • Neoplasms
    (C00–D49)
    • Malignant neoplasms of mesothelial and soft tissue
      (C45-C49)
      • Malignant neoplasm of peripheral nerves and autonomic nervous system
        (C47)

C47 is a non-specific and non-billable diagnosis code code, consider using a code with a higher level of specificity for a diagnosis of malignant neoplasm of peripheral nerves and autonomic nervous system. The code is not specific and is NOT valid for the year 2024 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions. Category or Header define the heading of a category of codes that may be further subdivided by the use of 4th, 5th, 6th or 7th characters.

Specific Coding Applicable to Malignant neoplasm of prph nerves and autonomic nervous sys

Non-specific codes like C47 require more digits to indicate the appropriate level of specificity. Consider using any of the following ICD-10-CM codes with a higher level of specificity when coding for malignant neoplasm of prph nerves and autonomic nervous sys:

  • Use C47.0 for Malignant neoplasm of peripheral nerves of head, face and neck - BILLABLE CODE

  • C47.1 for Malignant neoplasm of peripheral nerves of upper limb, including shoulder - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use C47.10 for Malignant neoplasm of peripheral nerves of unspecified upper limb, including shoulder - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use C47.11 for Malignant neoplasm of peripheral nerves of right upper limb, including shoulder - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use C47.12 for Malignant neoplasm of peripheral nerves of left upper limb, including shoulder - BILLABLE CODE

  • C47.2 for Malignant neoplasm of peripheral nerves of lower limb, including hip - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use C47.20 for Malignant neoplasm of peripheral nerves of unspecified lower limb, including hip - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use C47.21 for Malignant neoplasm of peripheral nerves of right lower limb, including hip - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use C47.22 for Malignant neoplasm of peripheral nerves of left lower limb, including hip - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use C47.3 for Malignant neoplasm of peripheral nerves of thorax - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use C47.4 for Malignant neoplasm of peripheral nerves of abdomen - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use C47.5 for Malignant neoplasm of peripheral nerves of pelvis - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use C47.6 for Malignant neoplasm of peripheral nerves of trunk, unspecified - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use C47.8 for Malignant neoplasm of overlapping sites of peripheral nerves and autonomic nervous system - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use C47.9 for Malignant neoplasm of peripheral nerves and autonomic nervous system, unspecified - BILLABLE CODE

Tabular List of Diseases and Injuries

The following annotation back-references are applicable to this diagnosis code. The Tabular List of Diseases and Injuries is a list of ICD-10-CM codes, organized "head to toe" into chapters and sections with coding notes and guidance for inclusions, exclusions, descriptions and more.


Includes

Includes
This note appears immediately under a three character code title to further define, or give examples of, the content of the category.
  • malignant neoplasm of sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves and ganglia

Type 1 Excludes

Type 1 Excludes
A type 1 excludes note is a pure excludes note. It means "NOT CODED HERE!" An Excludes1 note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as the code above the Excludes1 note. An Excludes1 is used when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.
  • Kaposi's sarcoma of soft tissue C46.1

Patient Education


Autonomic Nervous System Disorders

Your autonomic nervous system is the part of your nervous system that controls involuntary actions, such as the beating of your heart and the widening or narrowing of your blood vessels. When something goes wrong in this system, it can cause serious problems, including:

  • Blood pressure problems
  • Heart problems
  • Trouble with breathing and swallowing
  • Erectile dysfunction in men

Autonomic nervous system disorders can occur alone or as the result of another disease, such as Parkinson's disease, alcoholism and diabetes. Problems can affect either part of the system, as in complex regional pain syndromes, or all of the system. Some types are temporary, but many worsen over time. When they affect your breathing or heart function, these disorders can be life-threatening.

Some autonomic nervous system disorders get better when an underlying disease is treated. Often, however, there is no cure. In that case, the goal of treatment is to improve symptoms.

Cancer

Cancer begins in your cells, which are the building blocks of your body. Normally, your body forms new cells as you need them, replacing old cells that die. Sometimes this process goes wrong. New cells grow even when you don't need them, and old cells don't die when they should. These extra cells can form a mass called a tumor. Tumors can be benign or malignant. Benign tumors aren't cancer while malignant ones are. Cells from malignant tumors can invade nearby tissues. They can also break away and spread to other parts of the body.

Cancer is not just one disease but many diseases. There are more than 100 different types of cancer. Most cancers are named for where they start. For example, lung cancer starts in the lung, and breast cancer starts in the breast. The spread of cancer from one part of the body to another is called metastasis. Symptoms and treatment depend on the cancer type and how advanced it is. Most treatment plans may include surgery, radiation and/or chemotherapy. Some may involve hormone therapy, immunotherapy or other types of biologic therapy, or stem cell transplantation.
