Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct code assignment for Hannah would be N63.11, for the lump in her breast, and Z15.01, for her genetic susceptibility to breast cancer. The use of both codes provides a more complete picture of her current condition and potential risk factors. Z86.000 is not applicable in this scenario as it is a code for personal history of other neoplasms, not specifically breast cancer. N63 alone does not capture Hannah's genetic susceptibility to breast cancer.
