Categories Z00-Z99 are provided for occasions when circumstances other than a disease, injury or external cause classifiable to categories A00 -Y89 are recorded as 'diagnoses' or 'problems'. This can arise in two main ways:
If an abnormality is encountered or a preexisting problem is addressed in the process of performing this preventive medicine evaluation and management service, and if the problem or abnormality is significant enough to require additional work to perform the problem oriented E/M service, then the appropriate Office/Outpatient code 99201-99215 should also be reported. Modifier 25 should be added to the Office/Outpatient code to indicate that a significant, separately identifiable evaluation and management service was provided on the same day as the preventive medicine service. The appropriate preventive medicine service is additionally reported.
This coding advice has been approved by the four Cooperating Parties—the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA), the American Hospital Association (AHA), the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), and the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS).
Notice, however, that this instruction does not address the patient who presents for a well visit with symptomatic concerns; rather, it narrowly addresses a visit with abnormal findings or a pre-existing condition that requires additional workup. In these cases, you may report an office visit with the preventive visit, as long as there is documentation of an abnormal finding in the notes (a presenting symptom is not an abnormal finding). You must be sure to append modifier 25 to the office visit.
ICD-10-CM strictly limits the circumstances under which a provider may report a same-day preventive visit and sick visit for the same patient. If the patient is symptomatic on arrival for a preventive visit, per ICD-10-CM guidelines, the visit no longer qualifies as a preventive encounter. A sick visit may be billed, but the preventive visit should be rescheduled.
Codes in I60-I69 should not be used for a diagnosis of traumatic intracranial hemorrhage. However, if the patient has both a current traumatic intracranial hemorrhage and sequela from a previous stroke, then it would be appropriate to assign both a code from S06- and I69-.
However, if dizziness (R42) is not a component of the mental health condition (e.g., dizziness is unrelated to bipolar disorder), then separate codes may be assigned for both dizziness and the mental health condition.
In other words, you cannot report a wellness encounter if the patient is sick.
The choice for with abnormal finding would be used if there is no chief complaint or presenting symptom, but rather an issue discovered by the provider in the course of the preventive exam.
Note: Z codes represent reasons for encounters. A corresponding procedure code must accompany a Z code if a procedure is performed. Categories Z00-Z99 are provided for occasions when circumstances other than a disease, injury or external cause classifiable to categories A00-Y99 are recorded as 'diagnoses' or 'problems'. This can arise in two main ways:
The ICD-10 CM codes will not allow symptoms and complaints to be included with a preventive, see the exclude 1 note for this. You can however have abnormal findings disvovered by the provider, but the primary reason for the encounter is still preventive.
If the patient presents with symtoms or complaints then the primary reason for the encounter will n ot be preventive and cost sharing for the office ebcounter is permitted. if the patient has no concerns or complaints then you cannot bill a separate office encounter as there will be a co pay.
If the patient presents with an obvious eye issue or is complaining of one then this is not an abnormal finding, it is a presenting symptom, which if you read the exclude 1 exclusion cannot be coded here. If the patient presents with symptoms or complaints the exclude 1 note instructs to code the encounter to the symptoms, meaning you will need to defer the preventive.
