COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) is an illness caused by a virus. This virus is a new coronavirus that has spread throughout the world. It is called SARS-CoV-2. There are two types of tests for this virus:
Z11.52, encounter for screening for COVID-19 (We previously used Z11.59 before the pandemic. Do not use Z11.52 during pandemic. Must wait until pandemic is over to begin using this code) Reported for people who are asymptomatic and test negative.
Remember that coders CANNOT use the screening code (Z11.52) until there is no longer a pandemic. During AHA’s COVID-19 coding presentation on December 1, 2020, Nelly stated that an official announcement will be given as to when the COVID-19 pandemic is official over.
Remember, COVID-19 has to be confirmed in order to code U07.1, COVID-19. The test results can be coded as a confirmed COVID-19 case, U07.1. However if the test results are inconclusive and the MD documents “probable,” “suspected” or “inconclusive” COVID-19, do NOT assign code U07.1. Instead, code the signs and symptoms.
