Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Screening (AAA Screening) ICD-10-CM Codes

Men aged 65-75 who have smoked should get an AAA screening. Others with a family history or risk factors might also benefit.

If one is at risk, their doctor might recommend a one-time screening. If an aneurysm is detected, regular monitoring will be necessary. Emergency surgery might be needed if an aneurysm is detected and there is a rupture.

Most insurance plans, including Medicare, cover AAA screening for at-risk individuals, especially if it's a recommended preventive service.
