Inconclusive Mammogram 793.82 ?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Input needed on the Inconclusive Mammogram code 793.82. How is everyone using this code? Coding Clinic is a little vague.
IN our office:
Case #1 was coded as 793.80 & 793.82
Documentation states:
An 11 mm partially circumscribed nodular density in the medial aspect of the right breast.
Diagnositc Category 0 - Incomplete: Need add'l imaging. Recommend targeted ultrasound of right breast.
Case #2 was coded as 611.72 and 793.82
Documentation states:
Scattered fibroglandular densities throughout the breast tissue. A spiculated mass within the latera aspeck of the right breast.
Diagnostic Category 0 - Incomplete: Need add'l imaging.
Recommend targeted ultrasound.
How would you code these? With the inconclusive code?
