Liver Mets (Metastases) ICD-10-CM Codes

A Liver Mets ICD-10-CM code should be used in medical documentation when a patient has been diagnosed with cancer that has metastasized to the liver from another primary site.

Liver metastases are usually detected through imaging tests such as CT scans, MRIs, or ultrasounds. Blood tests and biopsy may also be used for confirmation.

A diagnosis code for liver metastases provides a standardized way to indicate that a patient has secondary liver tumors originating from another cancerous site. This coding facilitates clinical care, research, and administrative activities like insurance billing.
