A diagnosis of “dense breasts” is coded in ICD-10-CM as R92. 2, Inconclusive mammogram.
Abnormal mammogram results occur when breast imaging detects an irregular area of the breast that has the potential to be malignant. This could come in the form of small white spots called calcifications, lumps or tumors called masses, and other suspicious areas.
For example, Z12. 31 (Encounter for screening mammogram for malignant neoplasm of breast) is the correct code to use when you are ordering a routine mammogram for a patient. However, coders are coming across many routine mammogram orders that use Z12. 39 (Encounter for other screening for malignant neoplasm of breast).
Encounter for gynecological examinationICD-10 code Z01. 419 for Encounter for gynecological examination (general) (routine) without abnormal findings is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Factors influencing health status and contact with health services .
The mammogram was inconclusive, meaning the radiologist could not give an impression based on the data. Another mammogram or other testing may be necessary. The results are normal, negative, or benign. The mammogram revealed benign, or non-cancerous abnormalities such as calcifications or fibroadenomas.
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 CODE: For women with dense breasts, an appropriate ICD-10 code is 92.2 (which is “inconclusive mammogram” and can be used because of dense breast tissue).
A category 4 score indicates a suspicious finding or abnormality. In this instance, there is a 20 to 35 percent chance of cancer. To confirm, your doctor will need to perform a biopsy to test a small tissue sample. This score is split within three additional categories based on the doctor's level of suspicion: 4A.
The extra tests showed nothing to worry about and you can return to your regular mammogram schedule. The results are probably nothing to worry about, but you should have your next mammogram sooner than normal – usually in 6 months – to make sure nothing changes over time.
Screening mammograms are annual preventive exams, while a doctor may order a diagnostic mammogram based on any signs of breast cancer symptoms. A diagnostic mammogram is more detailed than a screening mammogram. A screening mammogram only takes about 10 to 20 minutes, while a diagnostic mammogram can be longer.
