Hi,

Is there a ICD code for history of lumpectomy (breast)/

The only one I can find is V15.29..

Any help would be greatly appreicated!

Thank you!
 
You do not need a code for this.. if the patient is being followed up on post surgery use a V67.xx code you do not need a code for hx of having a lumpectomy, no more than you need one for hx of an appendectomy. What was the reason for the lumpectomy? What is the reason for the encounter you are wanting to code?
