Encounter for blood typing. Z01.83 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
ICD-10-PCS Procedure Codes – ICD-10-PCS procedure codes are located in the 302 series of ICD-10-PCS and used in the hospital inpatient setting. Examples of these include: Depending on the services rendered and the patient’s condition, providers can report one or more codes as appropriate.
The DSM-5 Steering Committee subsequently approved the inclusion of this category, and its corresponding ICD-10-CM code, Z03. 89 "No diagnosis or condition," is available for immediate use.
ICD-10 code Z03. 89 for Encounter for observation for other suspected diseases and conditions ruled out is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Factors influencing health status and contact with health services .
Here, you cannot use the Z03. 89 as primary diagnoses. The observation codes are not used if an injury or illness, or any signs or symptoms related to the suspected condition, are present.
When a diagnosis is not established at the first visit and follow-up visits are required before determining a primary diagnosis, what should the coder do? Code the signs and symptoms. (Instead of inconclusive diagnoses, the specific signs and symptoms are coded and reported.)
ICD-10 code Z51. 81 for Encounter for therapeutic drug level monitoring is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Factors influencing health status and contact with health services .
Z20. 828, Contact with and (suspected) exposure to other viral communicable diseases. Use this code when you think a patient has been exposed to the novel coronavirus, but you're uncertain about whether to diagnose COVID-19 (i.e., test results are not available).

Diagnostic criteria for use of this code are located in the DSM-5. R69 Diagnosis Deferred (Illness, unspecified) This diagnosis code is DELETED from the covered diagnosis list.
Z09 - Encounter for follow-up examination after completed treatment for conditions other than malignant neoplasm | ICD-10-CM.
Diagnosis Codes Never to be Used as Primary Diagnosis With the adoption of ICD-10, CMS designated that certain Supplementary Classification of External Causes of Injury, Poisoning, Morbidity (E000-E999 in the ICD-9 code set) and Manifestation ICD-10 Diagnosis codes cannot be used as the primary diagnosis on claims.
Follow-up visits, like initial visits, should be coded using the appropriate evaluation and management (E/M) code (i.e., 99211–99215). Given the limited interaction with the patient and limited work involved, the level of service is likely to be low (e.g., 99211 or 99212).
As Rhonda Buckholtz, AAPC Vice President of Strategic Development, explains, “When the doctor sees the patient and develops his plan of care—that is active treatment. When the patient is following the plan—that is subsequent.
Encounter for blood typing 1 Z01.83 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. 2 The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM Z01.83 became effective on October 1, 2020. 3 This is the American ICD-10-CM version of Z01.83 - other international versions of ICD-10 Z01.83 may differ.

The aftercare codes are generally first-listed to explain the specific reason for the encounter. An aftercare code may be used as an additional code when some type of aftercare is provided in addition to the reason for admission and no diagnosis code is applicable.
ICD-10-CM Coding Rules#N#?Z51.89 is considered unacceptable as a principal diagnosis as it describes a circumstance which influences an individual's health status but not a current illness or injury, or the diagnosis may not be a specific manifestation but may be due to an underlying cause.# N#?However, Z51.89 is considered "acceptable" when a secondary diagnosis is also coded on the record.
You are instruct to add another code that describes the type of aftercare such as a fitting and adjustment. However this is a perfectly acceptable first listed code, unless you can point to a guideline or instruction within he code book that states differently.
