What This Code Means

A person who has had one or both breasts surgically removed, but the specific side is not documented or both sides are equally affected.

Coding Tips

•Use only when laterality is unspecified; prefer Z90.11, Z90.12, or Z90.13 when side(s) are documented
•Often follows mastectomy for breast cancer; document whether reconstruction is planned or completed
