I'm studying for a coding test and came across a scenario of a female who has hx of breast cancer S/P lumpectomy. Correct codes indicated are V10.3 and V45.71.
I'm a little confused..I thought V45.71 was for someone who has had total mastectomy "Acquired absence of breast and nipple" ...but just a lumpectomy? Am I confused on this??
Thanks for your input!
