Should the V-Code for History of neoplasm of the breast or malignant neoplasm codes of the breast be used in follow up visits after a mastectomy or lumpectomy? I have been told that the malignancy should be coded for 5 years...and that if treatment is no longer being provided to the maligancy the History code of breast cancer should be used. Looking for which is the correct answer.
