The Z79 series of codes carries a note of instruction in the Chapter 21 section of the ICD-10 Official Guidelines for Coding and Reporting as follows: " Codes from this category indicate a patient’s continuous use of a prescribed drug (including such things as aspirin therapy) for the long-term treatment of a condition or for prophylactic use.... Assign a code from Z79 if the patient is receiving a medication for an extended period as a prophylactic measure (such as for the prevention of deep vein thrombosis) or as treatment of a chronic condition (such as arthritis) or a disease requiring a lengthy course of treatment (such as cancer). Do not assign a code from category Z79 for medication being administered for a brief period of time to treat an acute illness or injury (such as a course of antibiotics to treat acute bronchitis). "#N#As a 'status' code, the purpose of the code is to indicate the patient's ongoing use of a medication, which incidentally may be for prophylactic reasons. In my opinion the code would not be appropriate for the situation you describe, because using a Z79 code as a first listed code would indicate that the purpose of the visit would be for the provider to evaluate the patient's response to a medication already being used, not for evaluating a patient for prevention of a potential future problem. So I don't think this code correctly describes visits which are for preventive or prophylactic purposes, i.e. to prevent a problem which has not yet occurred and for which the patient is not yet receiving a drug. There are codes that can be used that describe encounters for 'other specified' reasons, and an 'other specified' history code to represent the patient's past history of seasickness would more accurately represent the reasons for the encounter as described in your post.
