Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Both codes N63 and Z15.01 are necessary to fully convey the reason for the encounter. N63 identifies the lump in the right breast, and Z15.01 identifies the genetic susceptibility to breast cancer. Code Z86.000 is not appropriate as it pertains to personal history of certain other conditions, not genetic susceptibility to breast cancer.
