Secondary malignant neoplasm of bladder
Valid for Submission
| ICD-10: | C79.11 |
| Short Description: | Secondary malignant neoplasm of bladder |
| Long Description: | Secondary malignant neoplasm of bladder |
Code Classification
C79.11 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of secondary malignant neoplasm of bladder. The code C79.11 is valid during the fiscal year 2022 from October 01, 2021 through September 30, 2022 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.
The ICD-10-CM code C79.11 might also be used to specify conditions or terms like malignant neoplasm of anterior wall of urinary bladder, malignant neoplasm of connective and soft tissue of abdominal wall, malignant neoplasm of lateral wall of urinary bladder, malignant neoplasm of posterior wall of urinary bladder, malignant tumor involving bladder by direct extension from endometrium , malignant tumor involving bladder by direct extension from fallopian tube, etc.
The following anatomical sites found in the Table of Neoplasms apply to this code given the correct histological behavior: bladder (urinary) ; bladder (urinary) dome ; bladder (urinary) neck ; bladder (urinary) orifice ; bladder (urinary) orifice ureteric ; bladder (urinary) orifice urethral ; bladder (urinary) sphincter ; etc
Tabular List of Diseases and Injuries
The Tabular List of Diseases and Injuries is a list of ICD-10 codes, organized "head to toe" into chapters and sections with coding notes and guidance for inclusions, exclusions, descriptions and more. The following references are applicable to the code C79.11:
Type 2 Excludes
Type 2 ExcludesA type 2 excludes note represents "Not included here". An excludes2 note indicates that the condition excluded is not part of the condition represented by the code, but a patient may have both conditions at the same time. When an Excludes2 note appears under a code, it is acceptable to use both the code and the excluded code together, when appropriate.

Diagnostic Related Groups - MS-DRG Mapping
The ICD-10 code C79.11 is grouped in the following groups for version MS-DRG V39.0 What are Diagnostic Related Groups?
The Diagnostic Related Groups (DRGs) are a patient classification scheme which provides a means of relating the type of patients a hospital treats. The DRGs divides all possible principal diagnoses into mutually exclusive principal diagnosis areas referred to as Major Diagnostic Categories (MDC). applicable from 10/01/2021 through 09/30/2022.
| MS-DRG | MS-DRG Title | MCD | Relative Weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| 656 | KIDNEY AND URETER PROCEDURES FOR NEOPLASM WITH MCC | 11 | 3.2817 |
| 657 | KIDNEY AND URETER PROCEDURES FOR NEOPLASM WITH CC | 11 | 1.9341 |
| 658 | KIDNEY AND URETER PROCEDURES FOR NEOPLASM WITHOUT CC/MCC | 11 | 1.5791 |
The relative weight of a diagnostic related group determines the reimbursement rate based on the severity of a patient's illness and the associated cost of care during hospitalization.
Convert C79.11 to ICD-9 Code
The General Equivalency Mapping (GEM) crosswalk indicates an approximate mapping between the ICD-10 code C79.11 its ICD-9 equivalent. The approximate mapping means there is not an exact match between the ICD-10 code and the ICD-9 code and the mapped code is not a precise representation of the original code.

Table of Neoplasms
The code C79.11 is included in the table of neoplasms by anatomical site. For each site there are six possible code numbers according to whether the neoplasm in question is malignant, benign, in situ, of uncertain behavior, or of unspecified nature. The description of the neoplasm will often indicate which of the six columns is appropriate.
Where such descriptors are not present, the remainder of the Index should be consulted where guidance is given to the appropriate column for each morphological (histological) variety listed. However, the guidance in the Index can be overridden if one of the descriptors mentioned above is present.

Information for Patients
Bladder Cancer
The bladder is a hollow organ in your lower abdomen that stores urine. Bladder cancer occurs in the lining of the bladder. It is the sixth most common type of cancer in the United States.
Symptoms include
- Blood in your urine
- A frequent urge to urinate
- Pain when you urinate
- Low back pain
Risk factors for developing bladder cancer include smoking and exposure to certain chemicals in the workplace. People with a family history of bladder cancer or who are older, white, or male have a higher risk.
Treatments for bladder cancer include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and biologic therapy. Biologic therapy boosts your body's own ability to fight cancer.
