In the 2017 updates to ICD-10-CM, several codes were deleted from the neoplasm chapter primarily to streamline coding and improve specificity. Notably, codes for certain benign and malignant neoplasms were consolidated or replaced with newer codes that provide clearer diagnostic criteria. Additionally, some codes that had become obsolete or redundant were removed to enhance the overall efficiency of the coding system. It's essential for healthcare providers to stay updated on these changes to ensure accurate coding and billing practices.
