Site-Specific Factor 9

Pre-Orchiectomy Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) Range

Notes

**Note 1:** Record the range of the human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) test as documented in the patient record prior to orchiectomy and other treatment. **Note 2:** Use the same laboratory test to record values in **Site-Specific Factor 8, Pre-Orchiectomy Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) Lab Value** and **Site-Specific Factor 9, Pre-Orchiectomy Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) Range**. **Note 3:** A lab value expressed in International Units/liter (IU/L) is equivalent to the same value expressed in milli-International Units/milliliter (mIU/ml). **Note 4:** If the pre-orchiectomy hCG test is unavailable but a physician's statement of the result is documented, use codes 991-993. **Note 5:** For rare cases that are treated prior to orchiectomy, use code 995 in this field and record the initial hCG range in **Site-Specific Factor 15, Post-Orchiectomy Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) Range**. **Note 6:** For rare cases that an orchiectomy is not performed, use code 996 in this field and record the initial hCG range in **Site-Specific Factor 15, Post-Orchiectomy Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) Range**.
