Answer:

C34.11 and G89.3

Step-by-step explanation:

C34.11 and G89.3 are billable ICD codes that are used to specify a diagnosis of malignant neoplasm of upper lobe, right bronchus or lung.

A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.

Those codes are used to specify for Neoplasm related pain both acute and chronic.
