Long-term medicine Any medicine you have to take for three or more months to control symptoms or to prevent complications from a condition. Examples of conditions that might require long-term medicine include: high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, arthritis, heart conditions, and long-term pain.
Long-term control medicines are slow acting, which means they can take days or even weeks to begin working. They don't provide immediate relief of symptoms and shouldn't be used when treatment is needed quickly. This requires faster-acting medicines (known as quick-relief medicines) that can work right away.

The T codes for underdosing are only appropriate to report an adverse effect (see the 'code first' note under this category which requires that the nature of the adverse effect be reported), so that would not be an appropriate code if there is no symptom or condition that is documented as resulting from the underdosing. For incidental underdosing with no other reason specified, you would report Z91.14 which includes ' Patient's underdosing of medication NOS '. Since the physician is refilling a medication to treat hypertension, then I would code the hypertension to show that this condition was addressed at the encounter.#N#Unless there is something in documentation or coding guidelines that warrants it (e.g. some kind of ongoing medication use that has a bearing on the reason for the encounter), I generally do not code the generic long term use code, Z79.899, since that code is not specific and does not really report any significant information - it could theoretically be reported for just about any patient with a documented medication use. However, some organizations may want coders to report this for certain situations, so you might want to talk to your quality or audit team, if you have one, to get their guidance on when they consider these code required.
pt Comes in for arm pain and mentions they have been out of lisinopril For 5 days , Which they take for long term use for their htn . Pt isn’t having any bp issues. Final arm pain. Under the MDM MD states he refilled pt’s lisinopril. would you code a T code for under dosing? Seeing how the pt was taking it long term and the Z79 states it’s for continuous use , pt has been out so he is not taking it continuously so I should not code a long Term use z79. Or should I pick the Z79 up as the MD prescribed if for a chronic medical condition and it is the understanding That it will be taken continuously? Also since the pt didn’t come In for a refill i should not code encounter for refill? thank you
Underdosing on page 82-83 (2020 guidelines): " Codes for underdosing should never be assigned as principal or first-listed code s. If a patient has a relapse or exacerbation of the medical condition for which the drug is prescribed because of the reduction in dose, then the medical condition itself should be coded.
