Labcorp continues to rely on the ordering physician to provide diagnostic information for the individual patient. In accordance with HIPAA standards, Labcorp requires a valid diagnosis at the highest level of specificity in order to bill third-party payers, including Medicare and Medicaid. Missing diagnoses, diagnosis codes lacking the highest level of specificity, and nonspecific narratives all require follow-up with the ordering physician or his/her authorized designee for clarification. Providing a formatted ICD-10-CM code at the time of order will minimize letters and/or calls.
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.
Testing to rule out or confirm a suspected diagnosis because the patient has a sign or symptom is a diagnostic examination, not a screening.
For example, if ordering a mammogram for screening, use Z12.31 encounter for screening for malignant neoplasm of the breast.
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.
One of the difficulties in coding is that there are different rules for professional services and facility services.
For outpatient encounters for diagnostic tests that have been interpreted by a physician, and the final report is available at the time of coding, code any confirmed or definitive diagnosis (es) documented in the interpretation. Do not code related signs and symptoms as additional diagnoses.
