The CPT code is 32484.
You should first go to the section removal and then look for lung. After that, you should check the code for "single segment" as only one lung segment was resected. The CPT codes are yearly reviewed, so there is a chance that this code might not correspond to the latest version, although it is not likely. These codes are always five digits long and the system was developed by the American Medical Association.<span>

</span>The ICD-10-CM code is C34.10.
Firstly select the Neoplasms (section C00-D49) because it is lung cancer, then look for "Malignant neoplasms of respiratory and intrathoracic organs" as we are talking about the lung (section C30-C39). After this go to "Malignant neoplasm of bronchus and lung" (C34) which is the specification. Now you should select the type it is referring to, and we are looking for cancer in the lungs on the apical area from where the biopsy was done, with no specification of which lung - so, the right option should be "<span>Malignant neoplasm of upper lobe, unspecified bronchus or lung" (C34.10).</span>
