Hi there,
My surgeon saw a new patient in the office for suspected ovarian cancer (as he puts it, he diagnosed ovarian CA from patient's radiology studies), but the patient has definitive ovarian masses.
I don't think it is apprpriate to code the ovarian cancer in this situation since we have no final path. So how would I code the ovarian mass?
Thanks, Jenn
