According to the coding guidelines, in the front of the icd-9-cm book, V45.7X (acquired absence of organ) can be used as 1st and/or an additional dx code. I don't disagree that you should use an aftercare code first, if it is in fact aftercare for the mastectomy, or a follow-up code, if the doctor indicates that it's just routine follow-up of patient with no other DXs to address. I just wanted to point this out in case anyone runs into this in the future.
Pre-op code:#N#V07.8 would be the code you would use if the patient was (in need of) having prophylactic breast removal, as stated in your Tabular List under this code.#N#Post-op code:#N#However, if the patient has already received the mastectomy, the proper code would be V45.71.#N#Hope this helps!
