Hello

A patient that has a personal history of a malignant neoplasm of the large intestine (V10.05) needs to be monitored every 3 months for renal neoplasms since there's an association between the type of colon cancer and renal neoplasms. The patient has no complaints, and/or other diagnosis. Can we bill code V10.05 as the only diagnosis for the evaluation and management of his condition?
Please help!!!:confused:
 
That code should be fine - we frequently bill for routine surveillance of patients with a history of cancers using the V codes and haven't had an issue with this.
