Screening is the testing for disease or disease precursors in asymptomatic individuals so that early detection and treatment can be provided for those who test positive for the disease. Type 1 Excludes. encounter for diagnostic examination-code to sign or symptom. Encounter for screening for other diseases and disorders.
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:
Z codes (Factors Influencing Health Status and Contact with Health Services (Z00-Z99)), found in ICD-10-CM, chapter 21, are required to describe a patient’s condition or status in four primary circumstances:
Screening is testing for disease or disease precursors in seemingly well individuals so early detection and treatment can be provided for those who test positive for the disease (e.g., a screening mammogram is intended to detect breast cancer early, so it can be treated before it becomes more serious or widespread).
The Z code indicates that a screening exam is planned. A screening code may be the first-listed code if the reason for the visit is specifically the screening exam. A screening Z code also may be used as an additional code if the screening is done during an office visit for other problems.
ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes support medical necessity by identifying the reason for the patient encounter, which may include an acute injury or illness, a chronic health condition, or signs and symptoms (e.g., pain, cough, shortness of breath, etc.) that warrants further investigation. When a patient presents for health screening services without a specific complaint, however, it’s time to call on Z codes.
A screening code is not necessary if the screening is inherent to a routine examination, such as Pap smear done during a routine pelvic examination. If a condition is discovered during the screening, you may assign the code for the condition as an additional diagnosis.
There is a general code for screening, Z01.89, described in the ICD-10 guidelines, below. There are also more specific codes for screening that are required by Medicare and other payers for specific tests and conditions.
Screening is the testing for disease or disease precursors in seemingly well individuals so that early detection and treatment can be provided for those who test positive for the disease (e.g., screening mammogram). Notice that the guidelines say a screening is a test performed on a patient who is well, for the purpose of the early detection.
Use a sign, symptom or diagnosis when the test is being done to monitor an existing disease or condition or to diagnosis a condition, based on a symptom. Use a screening diagnosis for tests ordered “in the absence of any signs, symptoms or associated diagnosis.”. Associated diagnosis is the condition being treated.
A patient who has already been diagnosed with a condition cannot be screened for that condition. A patient with high cholesterol on her problem list whose lipids are monitored is not being screened. She is receiving a test to monitor an existing condition.
That is not considered screening. Testing to rule out or confirm a suspected diagnosis because the patient has a sign or symptom is a diagnostic examination, not a screening. In these cases, the sign or symptom is used to explain the reason for the test.
