I thought that not only a woman with a family history of breast cancer i.e. mother, sister daughter, aunt but also the individual themselves if they had breast cancer would also be a high risk. AHIMA has a distance learning PDF document which says CMS indicates a woman who is high risk would also be a person with a personal history of breast cancer as well. Coding clinic and faye Brown do not indicate this. Does anyone have a final on this?

I work in an outpatient radiology facility where they do not identify with V76.11 for a person who has had breast cancer before who is having a regular screening. Are women who have had breast cancer with no recurrence or symptoms coded to V7612? I know if it is a diagnostic mammo it is V6759.
Help Please!!!!
