Thyroid Nodules ICD-10-CM Codes

We left out one because it isn’t valid and billable: E05.1 - Thyrotoxicosis with toxic single thyroid nodule. It’s not as specific as the ones we’ve listed, so it's best to use the ones mentioned above instead.

Professionals will conduct thyroid blood tests, thyroid ultrasounds, thyroid scans, and/or biopsies.

The course of action for nodules depends on whether they are benign or not. In the case of benign nodules, some professionals may recommend regular monitoring over time, while others may opt for administering radioactive iodine treatment. However, if the nodules are determined to be cancerous, surgery remains the most effective and advisable approach.
