What is the icd-9 code for metastasis colon cancer and the cpt code to?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Need more info: The code for colon cancers is 153._. 153.9 is for colon cancer of unspecified site. There is a separate group of codes for metastasis and the site. The number after 153 is for the site of the primary tumor. I can't answer the cpt code question, because there is not enough information.

Depends: It depends on where it's metastatic to. There are different icd 9 codes depending on a met to the liver versus a lymph node versus the lung. If you search for "secondary malignant xxxx" where xxxx = the site of metastasis you will find it.
