Mammogram Screening ICD-10-CM Codes

A mammogram screening ICD-10-CM code should be utilized in medical documentation when the primary purpose of the visit is breast cancer screening or if a patient's medical or family history necessitates regular screenings.

A screening mammogram is a routine test for any signs of breast cancer. In contrast, a diagnostic mammogram is used after suspicious results on a screening mammogram or after signs of breast cancer alert the physician to check the tissue, such as a lump or pain.

A diagnosis code for mammogram screening offers a standardized way of indicating that a patient underwent a mammogram primarily for breast cancer detection. It aids in patient management, research, and insurance claims.
