The ICD - 10 cm code that will be reported is G43. B1.

The ICD CM Code is a system used in the health care setting by the doctors and other heath providers to provide information about the amount of bill each patient is going to pay for the health care service that they have received. The ICD code for lipoma is determined by its location. The alphabets in the answer indicate the locations of the lipomas.
