R92.8 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of other abnormal and inconclusive findings on diagnostic imaging of breast. The code R92.8 is valid during the fiscal year 2021 from October 01, 2020 through September 30, 2021 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.#N#The ICD-10-CM code R92.8 might also be used to specify conditions or terms like abnormal finding on screening procedure, abnormal findings on diagnostic imaging of breast, almost entirely fat breast composition, architectural distortion of breast, asymmetric breast tissue , breast composition, etc.
It can also be used if you have a lump or other sign of breast cancer. Screening mammography is the type of mammogram that checks you when you have no symptoms. It can help reduce the number of deaths from breast cancer among women ages 40 to 70. But it can also have drawbacks.
When you have a mammogram, you stand in front of an x-ray machine. The person who takes the x-rays places your breast between two plastic plates. The plates press your breast and make it flat. This may be uncomfortable, but it helps get a clear picture.
Mammograms can sometimes find something that looks abnormal but isn't cancer. This leads to further testing and can cause you anxiety. Sometimes mammograms can miss cancer when it is there. It also exposes you to radiation. You should talk to your doctor about the benefits and drawbacks of mammograms.

A mass in the mammary gland, either mobile or immobile. Once the mass has reached the size of a small garden pea, it can be detected by palpation . With mammography a larger number of early breast cancers are being detected since this techniques allows detection prior to the point at which the mass can be felt. Breast masses are not always malignant. Benign fibrocystic breast disease is not uncommon. A fine needle biopsy aspiration can distinguish a cystic mass from a solid one.
This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code R92.8 and a single ICD9 code, 793.89 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
Billable codes are sufficient justification for admission to an acute care hospital when used a principal diagnosis.
ICD-10-CM Code(s): L98. 8 Other specified disorders of the skin and subcutaneous tissue. Rationale: Because the stated diagnosis is skin lesion and not neoplasm, the Neoplasm Table is not referenced in this case.
Tangential biopsies, performed with a sharp blade to remove epidermal tissue, include scoop, shave, and curette biopsies. Punch biopsies are performed using a punch tool, while incisional biopsies involve the use of a sharp blade to remove a full-thickness tissue sample. Likewise, what is CPT code for shave biopsy?
By CPT definition, there is no such thing as a shave biopsy. There are codes for shaving of lesions (11300-11313) and there are codes for biopsies of lesions (11100, 11101), but there are no codes for shave biopsies of lesions.
