I understand this is a rare tumor. It is a malignant sarcoma, an atrial tumor. If look up sarcoma, hemangioendotheial and epithithelioid cell it directs you to Neoplasm, connective tissue, malignant.
But that is where I see that 'Atria' is not on the list and you are told to code to Neoplasm of that site, which is 164.1
Am I following the directions as you would? I want to advise the provider that 238.9 is not the code to use going forward. I have gone over this a couple of times and want to be certain that my advice is solid.
Input appreciated.
