If incorrectly billed, the claim may be processed and paid at a lesser value. There are two ICD-9-CM diagnosis codes used to report a screening mammogram: Report code V76.11 (Screening for malignant neoplasms, screening mammogram for high risk patient) when any one of the following criteria is documented in the report:
2018/2019 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code R92.8. Other abnormal and inconclusive findings on diagnostic imaging of breast. R92.8 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
Digital Mammography: Bilateral Screening Mammogram G0202 Digital mammogram with CAD: Computer Aided Detection (CAD) 77052 (used with 77057 and G0202) Screening mammography is considered bilateral so do not report the code with modifier 50 or RT/LT. ICD-9-CM Codes for Screening Mammography:
Z12. 31, Encounter for screening mammogram for malignant neoplasm of breast, is the primary diagnosis code assigned for a screening mammogram. If the mammogram is diagnostic, the ICD-10-CM code assigned is the reason the diagnostic mammogram was performed.
Z12. 31 (Encounter for screening mammogram for malignant neoplasm of breast) is reported for screening mammograms while Z12. 39 (Encounter for other screening for malignant neoplasm of breast) has been established for reporting screening studies for breast cancer outside the scope of mammograms.
ICD-9 Code V76. 12 -Other screening mammogram- Codify by AAPC.
An ICD-10-CM diagnosis code(s) should be linked to the appropriate CPT mammography code reported. The proper diagnosis code to report would be Z12. 31, Encounter for screening mammogram for malignant neoplasm of breast.
Z12. 11: Encounter for screening for malignant neoplasm of the colon.
ICD-10 code Z12. 39 for Encounter for other screening for malignant neoplasm of breast is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Factors influencing health status and contact with health services .
Z01.419Encounter for gynecological examination (general) (routine) without abnormal findings. Z01. 419 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM Z01.
39 (Encounter for other screening for malignant neoplasm of breast). Z12. 39 is the correct code to use when employing any other breast cancer screening technique (besides mammogram) and is generally used with breast MRIs.
When modifier 52 is appended to the screening mammography codes 77057 or G0202 and 77052, it would be assumed that the service rendered was a unilateral mammography. The unilateral mammography would be paid at a reduced rate.
Specifically, according to cms.org, CMS instructs that mammography be described using the following codes: G0202, Screening mammography, bilateral (two-view study of each breast), including CAD when performed.
NOTE: Mammograms will not interfere with your ICD or S-ICD. However, your device could be damaged if it gets compressed in the mammogram machine. Make sure the doctor or technician knows you have an implanted device.
Women with a personal history of cancer can have their routine annual 3D mammogram performed as a diagnostic or a screening examination. Most CEM is done as part of research studies at this time. In centers offering clinical CEM, billing is often under CPT code 77065 (one breast) or 77066 (both breasts).
Categories Z00-Z99 are provided for occasions when circumstances other than a disease, injury or external cause classifiable to categories A00 -Y89 are recorded as 'diagnoses' or 'problems'. This can arise in two main ways:
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM Z12.31 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Screening is the testing for disease or disease precursors in asymptomatic individuals so that early detection and treatment can be provided for those who test positive for the disease. Type 1 Excludes. encounter for diagnostic examination-code to sign or symptom. Use Additional.
Screening mam mogram for breast cancer in high risk patient with family history of breast cancer done
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM Z98.82 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Z77-Z99 Persons with potential health hazards related to family and personal history and certain conditions influencing health status
Diagnostic Mammography: Diagnostic mammography includes additional x-ray views of each breast, taken from different angles and if performed digitally, may be manipulated, enlarged, or enhanced for better visualization of the abnormality found during screening mammography.
Report code V76.12 (Screening for malignant neoplasms, other screening mammogram) for all other screening mammography. If the patient has a personal history of breast cancer, has completed active treatment and is back to annual mammographic screening, report V76.11.
Screening mammography is recommended for women age 40 and older every one to two years and younger than 40 years of age when the patient has increased risk factors for breast cancer.
In general, screening mammograms are not recommended for women under 40 years of age, in part because breast tissue tends to be more dense in younger women, making mammograms as a screening tool less effective.
CAD: Computer-Aided Detection (CAD) is a computer-based process that is used in conjunction with digital mammography to analyze mammographic images and identify suspicious areas by marking them and bringing them to the radiologist's attention.
Screening Mammography: Screenings are performed on otherwise healthy individuals to look for cancer or precursors to cancer of the breasts.
Analog or conventional mammography is when the radiologist takes an image and prints it on film for the radiologist to review on a light box.
