The following clinical terms are approximate synonyms or lay terms that might be used to identify the correct diagnosis code: 1 Acquired absence of breast 2 Bilateral acquired absence of breast 3 History of bilateral mastectomy 4 History of bilateral prophylactic mastectomy 5 History of left mastectomy 6 History of mastectomy 7 History of right mastectomy
Modified radical mastectomy - removal of the breast, most of the lymph nodes under the arm, and often the lining over the chest muscles
Many women have breast reconstruction to rebuild the breast after a mastectomy. Sometimes mastectomy is done to prevent breast cancer.
Z90.13 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of acquired absence of bilateral breasts and nipples. The code Z90.13 is valid during the fiscal year 2021 from October 01, 2020 through September 30, 2021 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.
A mastectomy is surgery to remove a breast or part of a breast. It is usually done to treat breast cancer. Types of breast surgery include. Total (simple) mastectomy - removal of breast tissue and nipple.
Sometimes mastectomy is done to prevent breast cancer. Only high-risk patients have this type of surgery.
Z90.13 is exempt from POA reporting - The Present on Admission (POA) indicator is used for diagnosis codes included in claims involving inpatient admissions to general acute care hospitals. POA indicators must be reported to CMS on each claim to facilitate the grouping of diagnoses codes into the proper Diagnostic Related Groups (DRG). CMS publishes a listing of specific diagnosis codes that are exempt from the POA reporting requirement. Review other POA exempt codes here.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM Z42.1 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Categories Z40-Z53 are intended for use to indicate a reason for care. They may be used for patients who have already been treated for a disease or injury, but who are receiving aftercare or prophylactic care, or care to consolidate the treatment, or to deal with a residual state. Type 2 Excludes.
The code for this type of more involved mastectomy is 19305 .
During a subcutaneous mastectomy (19304), the surgeon dissects the breast away from the pectoral fascia and skin. As with the simple complete mastectomy, the surgeon removes all of the breast tissue, but spares the skin and pectoral fascia. The documentation should clearly illustrate the more complex nature of this procedure.
Radical mastectomy. For female patients, partial mastectomy involves excising the mass from the breast, taking along with it a margin of healthy tissue. The title of the procedure will be important when determining the physician’s intention for the procedure.
Three additional reconstruction procedures include transferring skin from another part of the patient’s body to the breast area. The latissimus dorsi flap (19361) describes a procedure during which muscle and skin are taken from the patient’s back and used to reconstruct a breast.
Breast implants are, perhaps, the most well-known reconstruction methods. These can be done during the same surgical session as the mastectomy (19340) or at a later time (19342). If reconstruction is delayed, the surgeon may perform a tissue expansion (19357).
As with any surgery, there are risks to the reconstruction procedures, including the potential removal of the implanted prosthetic if a complication occurs. The size of the breast and the defect may also be factors in deciding which reconstruction method is best for the patient.
While some excisions may be performed for benign conditions, most mastectomies are performed for malignancy. About two-thirds of breast cancers require estrogen to thrive, and can therefore be managed with estrogen-blocking drugs. These drugs reduce the chance of the cancer recurring and improve survival rates.
