I am new to general/ vascular surgury - When you see "thyroid nodule" on an encounter or indication for a biopsy or neck U/S, I am inclined to use 241.0 since we have no results to say otherwise . However , an experienced coder in my group uses 237.4 .

What is your opinion and what do you use ? And why do you use it ?

Thank you for the clarification .
 
If you do not have any pathology or documentation suggesting neoplasm....then 241.0 would be appropriate.....:)

Neoplasm- thyroid Nodule

At what point , would you move to a Neoplasm code for a thyroid nodule? After the pathology report ?

This is valid for lesions- what qualifies them to be grouped in the Neoplasm catagory?

Thank you for all your clarification !
