This page is listed as an exception in [[Definition of a Medicine Service admission]] so I wanted to make sure we include that instruction with the new codes. However, what _is_ the new code for this? Found nothing suitable in [[CCI Picklist]], [[CCI component 2 codes - what was done]], and [[ICD10 Diagnosis List]] only has [[Antineoplastic/chemotherapy or immunosuppressive drugs, adverse effect]] which doesn't seem a real match either. In general we would only code the cancer now, right, but this is a bit of a special case, so do we want to treat it separately?
*AG REPLY -- we don't need this at all and there's no way to code it specifically in ICD10 -- except that such an admission would have the Dx code of the cancer being treated, and the CCI code for the chemotherapy
** emailed Julie and Trish to make sure they are comfortable with this.
*** Trish, if you are fine with how this is or isn't addressed in ICD10 going fwd, pls remove the tag}}
