Question:

First course treatment--Leukemia: How should an allogeneic stem cell transplant for acute myeloid leukemia be coded in the Hematologic Transplant and Endocrine Procedures field? See Discussion.

Discussion:

There is debate as to whether this procedure should be coded as a 12 in order to capture the allogeneic part of the procedure.

Answer:

Assign code 20 [Stem cell harvest (stem cell transplant) and infusion as first course therapy] for stem cell procedures, even allogeneic procedures.
