ICD-9-CM 793.11 is a billable medical code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis on a reimbursement claim, however, 793.11 should only be used for claims with a date of service on or before September 30, 2015.

The American Hospital Association (AHA) coding clinic for ICD9 is classified to code 162.x. As the lung is made up of differing branches the fourth digit (x) is a subcategory identifying the specific site of the cancer for example; 162.0 is the trachea 162.2, main bronchus 162.3, upper lobe, bronchus or lung, 162.4, middle lobe, bronchus or lung 162.5, lower lobe, bronchus or lung. 162.8 is other parts of the lung, which will include malignant neoplasm where the bronchus and lung overlap so ...

R91. 1 - Solitary pulmonary nodule. ICD-10-CM.
For example, lung mass and multiple lung nodules are specifically indexed to code R91.

ICD-10-CM Code for Localized swelling, mass and lump, unspecified R22. 9.
A lung (pulmonary) nodule is an abnormal growth that forms in a lung. You may have one nodule on the lung or several nodules. Nodules may develop in one lung or both. Most lung nodules are benign (not cancerous). Rarely, pulmonary nodules are a sign of lung cancer.
R91. 1 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM R91. 1 became effective on October 1, 2021.
We identified relevant CT scans by using the following four CPT codes: 71250 (CT thorax without contrast), 71260 (CT thorax with contrast), 71270 (CT thorax without and with contrast), and 71275 (CT angiography chest).
Solitary pulmonary nodule (SPN) is defined as a single lung opacity of size less than 3 cm. It is usually discrete and does not attach to the lung border or pleura. Associated lymphadenopathy is characteristically absent.

In general, nodules that are less than 6 mm (1/4 inch) in diameter are followed with a repeat chest CT scan due to the low risk of cancer (ten percent or less), unless some other feature is felt to increase the probability of cancer. Nodules between 6 mm and 10 mm need to be carefully assessed.
Clinical Information. A single lung lesion that is characterized by a small round mass of tissue, usually less than 1 cm in diameter, and can be detected by chest radiography.
ICD-9-CM 793.11 is a billable medical code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis on a reimbursement claim , however, 793.11 should only be used for claims with a date of service on or before September 30, 2015. For claims with a date of service on or after October 1, 2015, use an equivalent ICD-10-CM code (or codes).
793.11 is a legacy non-billable code used to specify a medical diagnosis of solitary pulmonary nodule. This code was replaced on September 30, 2015 by its ICD-10 equivalent.
The term lung disease refers to many disorders affecting the lungs, such as asthma, COPD, infections like influenza, pneumonia and tuberculosis, lung cancer, and many other breathing problems. Some lung diseases can lead to respiratory failure.
Code also note - A "code also" note instructs that two codes may be required to fully describe a condition, but this note does not provide sequencing direction.
Type 1 Excludes Notes - A type 1 Excludes note is a pure excludes note. It means "NOT CODED HERE!" An Excludes1 note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as the code above the Excludes1 note. An Excludes1 is used when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.
NOS "Not otherwise specified" - This abbreviation is the equivalent of unspecified.
NEC "Not elsewhere classifiable" - This abbreviation in the Alphabetic Index represents "other specified". When a specific code is not available for a condition, the Alphabetic Index directs the coder to the "other specified” code in the Tabular List.
Solitary nodule of lung. Clinical Information. A lung lesion that appears as a round coin-shaped shadow in the chest radiographs. A single lung lesion that is characterized by a small round mass of tissue, usually less than 1 cm in diameter, and can be detected by chest radiography.
