Need help with dx code

(1/1)

KARREN:
does anyone know the dx for metastatic prostate cancer?

thanks

platmedrec1:
233.4 is Ca is situ prostate - that is what I would use.  I couldn't find anything to specify mets, but it isn't my specialty either.

I thought this page was helpful :)

tlewis:
I would use 185 since it states metastatic
A primary or metastatic malignant tumor involving the prostate gland. The vast majority are carcinomas.
