39 (Encounter for other screening for malignant neoplasm of breast). Z12. 39 is the correct code to use when employing any other breast cancer screening technique (besides mammogram) and is generally used with breast MRIs.

We use Z13.89 for orbits x-rays done for MRI screening.
Note: Z codes represent reasons for encounters. A corresponding procedure code must accompany a Z code if a procedure is performed. 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:
The plain film or digital image on PACS is reported using CPT® code 70030 – Radiological examination, eye, for detection of foreign body. Orbit studies are ordered for patients prior to an MRI when medically necessary (i.e. history of sheet metal work, prior history of intraocular foreign body).
Screening is for asymptomatic patients. If the patient presents with a symptom, which needs investigatingthen it is not screening and you would use the symptoms.
The article states: Orbit studies are ordered for patients prior to an MRI when medically necessary (i.e. history of sheet metal work, prior history of intraocular foreign body). I will agree that hx of codes are appropriate. The article does not state to use screening codes as the standard.
According to Coding Clinic, the appropriate diagnosis code would be Z01.89 (encounter for other specified special examinations). When responding to this question, Coding Clinic referenced ICD-10-CM guideline IV.K, which states: “For encounters for routine laboratory/radiology testing in the absence of any signs, symptoms, or associated diagnosis, assign Z01.89, Encounter for other specified special examinations. If routine testing is performed during the same encounter as a test to evaluate a sign, symptom, or diagnosis, it is appropriate to assign both the Z code and the code describing the reason for the non-routine test.”
