Diagnosis Numbers Question
Hi Ellen,
The diagnosis code 218.0 is 'SUBMUCOUS LEIOMYOMA'.
SUBMUCOUS - Refers to the layer of connective tissue below the mucosa. And LEIOMYOMA - refers to Fibroids of the uterus, a noncancerous condition.
I'm not sure if there is any online source for this information, I just know because of my job.
You can try to look up additional information on www.wedmd.com
I hope that helps.
