When lung nodules occur in isolation ( solitary pulmonary nodule (SPN), cancer is infrequently the case. But when there are several or many, the risk of cancer increases. 1 Multiple pulmonary nodules (MPN) is the term used to define cases of two or more lung lesions.
Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is a highly aggressive malignant neoplasm, accounting for 10-15% of lung cancer cases, characterized by rapid growth, and early metastasis.
Neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) are rare cancers that can start in different areas of the body, including the lungs. Some lung NETs are called carcinoid tumours. What are lung neuroendocrine tumours? Lung neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) are rare lung cancers that start in the neuroendocrine cells of the lung.

Small cell lung cancer is a disease in which malignant (cancer) cells form in the tissues of the lung. There are two main types of small cell lung cancer. Smoking is the major risk factor for small cell lung cancer. Signs and symptoms of small cell lung cancer include coughing and shortness of breath.

If the site of the primary cancer is not documented, the coder will assign a code for the metastasis first, followed by C80. 1 malignant (primary) neoplasm, unspecified. For example, if the patient was being treated for metastatic bone cancer, but the primary malignancy site is not documented, assign C79.

A primary malignant neoplasm that overlaps two or more contiguous (next to each other) sites should be classified to the subcategory/code .8 ('overlapping lesion'), unless the combination is specifically indexed elsewhere.
Cancer that forms in tissues of the lung, usually in the cells lining air passages. The two main types are small cell lung cancer and non-small cell lung cancer. These types are diagnosed based on how the cells look under a microscope.

A type 1 excludes note is a pure excludes. It means "not coded here". A type 1 excludes note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as J98.4. A type 1 excludes note is for used for when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.

For Lung-RADS categories 1 and 2 with recommendations at a 12 month cycle, are considered an annual screening exam and reported with CPT code 71271.
For patients with primary Fee-For-Service Medicare coverage, Medigap policies cover the beneficiary portion of the Medicare approved payment (ie, co-payment). Medigap policies would cover lung cancer screening consistent with the Medicare National Coverage Determination (age 55-77).
Screen for lung cancer with low-dose computed tomography (CT) every year.
Assess risk based on age and pack-year smoking history: Is the person aged 50 to 80 years and have they accumulated 20 pack-years or more of smoking?
For the initial LDCT lung cancer screening service, a written order is required from a qualified health professional following a lung cancer screening counseling and with attestation to shared decision-making having taken place.
The ACR Lung Cancer Screening Registry™, was approved by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to enable providers to meet quality reporting requirements to receive Medicare CT lung cancer screening payment.
No. However, the ACR recommends centers use both in establishing best practices and a quality lung cancer screening program.
