Brief Answer:
Blood test 141.2

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care question

What the 141.2 is the ICD code for malignant neoplasm of the lip. The lab requires a diagnostic code to substantiate the reason for the blood work. The 141.2 does not give the specific type of blood work being done. You may be getting a full blood count and full chemistry that would be needed prior to treatment or surgery for a lesion on the lips
