Currently, there is no requirement for ICD-10-PCS training. Cancer registrars who don't maintain AHIMA credentials don't need ICD-10-specific credit hours, but it is strongly recommended that they familiarize themselves with the code set. Unfortunately, medical coder classes likely are more in-depth than what's necessary for registrars.

Cancer, lung, non small cell. Eaton-lambert syndrome due to small cell carcinoma of lung. Eaton-lambert syndrome due to small cell lung cancer.
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.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM C34.90 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Encounter for screening for malignant neoplasm of respiratory organs. Z12. 2 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2020 edition of ICD-10-CM Z12.
The only recommended screening test for lung cancer is low-dose computed tomography (also called a low-dose CT scan, or LDCT). During an LDCT scan, you lie on a table and an X-ray machine uses a low dose (amount) of radiation to make detailed images of your lungs. How much does it cost to check for lung cancer? A spiral CT scan costs $300 or more.
HCPCS code G0297 for Low dose CT scan (LDCT) for lung cancer screening as maintained by CMS falls under Miscellaneous Diagnostic and Therapeutic Services .
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.
Per CMS,“the National Coverage Determination (NCD) for Lung Cancer Screening with LDCT (210.14) is based on the recommendation of the United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) whose general focus is the primary care provider and setting. We recognize the NCD does not specifically state primary care physician or setting. Based on the NCD and applicable regulations, the physician or non-physician practitioner who furnishes the shared-decision making visit and orders the LDCT must be treating the beneficiary and use the results in the management of the beneficiary's specific medical problem to ensure improved health outcomes.”
Based on the ACR Lung-RADS LOW DOSE protocols are recommended for the 3 and 6 month diagnostic follow up exams (71250).
The decision to undertake screening should involve a discussion of its potential benefits, limitations, and harms. If a person decides to be screened, refer them for lung cancer screening with low-dose CT, ideally to a center with experience and expertise in lung cancer screening.
Z87.891 for former smokers (personal history of nicotine dependence).
Medicare Advantage plans generally must provide coverage of all Medicare-covered services, but they are afforded flexibility in how and what they pay for those services. Based on past precedent, CMS is giving Medicare Advantage plans latitude with respect to coding and billing instructions for lung cancer screening.
The ACR Lung Cancer Screening Center program meets the CMS threshold for radiation dose per the final NCD. This is a rapid process and can be turned around quickly.
