About N63.1

N63.1 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for unspecified lump in the right breast. It belongs to category N63 (unspecified lump in breast), block N60-N65 (disorders of breast) and chapter 14 (diseases of the genitourinary system). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 6 subcodes must be used instead.

Within N63 (unspecified lump in breast), N63.1 is specifically for unspecified lump in the right breast. Related codes cover unspecified breast (N63.0), the left breast (N63.2), axillary tail (N63.3) and subareolar (N63.4).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: N63.10 (unspecified quadrant), N63.11 (upper outer quadrant), N63.12 (upper inner quadrant), N63.13 (lower outer quadrant), N63.14 (lower inner quadrant) and N63.15 (overlapping quadrants).

It was added in FY2018, effective October 1, 2017.
