When you think of cancer, you tend to think of it as a death sentence. The truth of the matter is, yes, lung nodules may be a sign of cancer, but it’s not necessarily a sign of cancer. It could be a fungal growth that can be easily removed with surgery or antibiotics, or it could just be a granuloma or scar tissue left by a virus or infection.

Non-small cell cancer includes squamous cell carcinoma (also called epidermoid carcinoma), large cell carcinoma, and adenocarcinoma.

And if the confusion surrounding what type of providers wasn’t enough, there is also a LDCT screening coding problem involving ICD-10-CM codes.
The code to use for a SDM visit is G0296 (counseling visit to discuss need for lung cancer screening [LDCT]). This is a 15 minute code with reimbursement of $69.65 in the hospital out- patient setting and $28.64 in a physician’s office.
