One of our providers ordered CT abd/pelvis for RUQ abd pain/side pain, alter diarrhea/constipation, patient has history of breast cancer and is on Arimidex. The order does not mention her breast cancer, do we add the breast cancer code to the claim? This is a discussion between coders, one coder says yes add the breast cancer code, the other coder said it was not mentioned, don't use it. We are the ordering and performing provider.
