Mammogram/ultrasound

(1/1)

djk:
Here goes icd10 question... looking for a code when a patient needs a mammogram. provider wants to write it: if mamogram is not tolerted than do a ultrasound.  They were able to do the diagnosis that would cover it with icd9 but what should she use for icd10??

Michele:
Your question doesn't give the diagnosis, you only describe the situation.  Need to know why the patient needs a mammogram.  :)

djk:
Dx we used was V76.12

Michele:
The IDC 10 that is the one to one map for V76.12 is Z12.31   Encounter for screening mammogram for malignant neoplasm of breast.  Of course I don't know if this is appropriate for any specific patient without more info.  I hope that helps.
