The diagnosis codes for lung cancer incidental nodule findings are primarily found under the ICD-10 coding system:

1. R91.1 - This code is used for a solitary pulmonary nodule. It indicates the presence of a single lung nodule that may be identified incidentally on imaging studies.

2. R91.8 - This code is used for other nonspecific abnormal findings of the lung field. It can apply when there are multiple lung nodules, or when findings are less specific.

Both codes are part of the broader category of "Abnormal findings on diagnostic imaging of lung" and are typically used when incidental lung nodules are discovered during imaging for unrelated issues.

For more detailed information, here are some resources:

• ICD-10 Data for R91
• AAPC Code for Solitary Pulmonary Nodule (R91.1)
• Lung Nodule ICD-10 Codes

These codes are essential for accurate medical billing and documentation in cases involving incidental lung nodules found during imaging studies.
