Submit one of these 4 more specific codes instead:

  • R97.0 Elevated carcinoembryonic antigen [CEA]
  • R97.1 Elevated cancer antigen 125 [CA 125]
  • R97.2 Elevated prostate specific antigen [PSA] (also a header)
  • R97.8 Other abnormal tumor markers

Every change the publisher made, from 2012 to now. Entries marked draft are from the pre-implementation releases: ICD-10 took effect on 1 October 2015, so nothing before FY2016 was ever valid on a claim.
