I have a question regarding how to properly code for an abnormal chest x-ray. I know the Icd-9 code for abnormal finding in lung is 793.1 but would that be the same for abnormal chest x-ray. Because our physician is general in his findings would it be appropriate to use an unlisted code (example: 793.9)?
