Edits of the type, RX Summ-Surg Prim Site, Diag Conf, check that cases with a primary site surgical procedure coded 20-90 are histologically confirmed.

If the patient had a surgical procedure, most likely there was a microscopic examination of the cancer.

  • Verify the surgery and diagnostic confirmation codes, and correct any errors.

  • Sometimes there are valid reasons why no microscopic confirmation is achieved with the surgery, for example, the tissue removed may be inadequate for evaluation.

Instructions for Coding

  • Leave blank if the EDITS program does not generate an error message for edits of the type, RX Summ-Surg Prim Site, Diag Conf.

  • Leave blank and correct any errors for the case if an item is discovered to be incorrect.

  • Code 1 if review of all items in the error or warning message confirms that all are correct.
