Description of CPT code 80053 (comprehensive metabolic panel)
ICD10Data.com is a free reference website designed for the fast lookup of all current American ICD-10-CM (diagnosis) and ICD-10-PCS (procedure) medical billing codes.
The U.S. also uses ICD-10-CM (Clinical Modification) for diagnostic coding. The main differences between ICD-10 PCS and ICD-10-CM include the following: ICD-10-PCS is used only for inpatient, hospital settings in the U.S., while ICD-10-CM is used in clinical and outpatient settings in the U.S.
Chronic idiopathic constipation is a functional bowel disorder characterized by difficult, infrequent, and/or incomplete defecation, affecting 35 million adult Americans, resulting in more than millions of physician visits annually.
Though the diagnosis code (ICD-10 code) for the exam is Z00. 00 (general physical exam), the CPT code for the visit is NOT the wellness-exam code range used by every other insurance plan (99381-99397). Instead, it is billed with a Medicare-only code, G0438.
Z12. 11: Encounter for screening for malignant neoplasm of the colon.
Use code Z00. 01 as the primary code as well as the codes for the chronic condition(s). When to use code Z00. 00: Patient presents for an Annual Wellness Visit (AWV).
All Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) ICD-10 system changes have been phased-in and are scheduled for completion by October 1, 2014, giving a full year for additional testing, fine-tuning, and preparation prior to full implementation of ICD-10 CM/PCS for all Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)-covered entities. ICD-10-CM/PCS will replace ICD-9-CM/PCS diagnosis and procedure codes in all health care settings for dates of service, or dates of discharge for inpatients, that occur on or after the implementation date of ICD-10.
The International Classification of Disease (ICD)-10 code sets provide flexibility to accommodate future health care needs, facilitating timely electronic processing of claims by reducing requests for additional information to providers. ICD-10 also includes significant improvements over ICD-9 in coding primary care encounters, external causes of injury, mental disorders, and preventive health. The ICD-10 code sets' breadth and granularity reflect advances in medicine and medical technology, as well as capture added detail on socioeconomics, ambulatory care conditions, problems related to lifestyle, and the results of screening tests.

International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10) and Other Coding Revisions to National Coverage Determination (NCDs)--January 2022
The Coverage and Analysis Group at CMS is the Federal entity that oversees National Coverage Determination (NCD) and Local Coverage Determination (LCD) policies. NCDs and LCDs constitute Medicare coverage decisions made by CMS and applied both nationally and locally across all health insurance payers. In light of HIPAA as it relates to ICD-10, CMS is responsible for converting the ICD-9 codes to ICD-10 codes in NCDs and LCDs as the Agency finds appropriate. There are approximately 330 NCDs spanning a range of time and not all NCDs are appropriate for translation. CMS has determined which NCDs/LCDs should be translated and is in the process of completing the associated systems changes. CMS change request (CR) transmittals and Medicare Learning Network Articles (MLN Matters®) are the vehicles used to communicate information regarding NCD/LCD translations.
For requests to update the ICD-10-CM codes, please note that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is responsible for the development and maintenance of ICD-10-CM. Please send your ICD-10-CM comments to: Donna Pickett, CDC nchs@cdc.gov
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services does not provide specific coding guidance. However, listed below are several resources that may be able to assist you:
The HCPCS code for the IPPE (or Welcome to Medicare Physical) uses an E/M code, G0344, and the HCPCS code for the technical component only of the EKG, G0367, has a status indicator of S.
IPPE beneficiary (Initial Preventive Physical Examination) The Medicare Prescription Drug Improvement and Modernization Act provides for coverage under Part B of one Initial Preventive Physical Examina tion (IPPE) for new beneficiaries only (subject to certain eligibility and other limitations, and effective for services furnished).
The IPPE may be performed not later than 6 months after the date the individual’s first coverage begins under Medicare Part B. Medicare will pay for only one IPPE per beneficiary per lifetime, and the Common Working File (CWF) will edit for this benefit. The total IPPE service includes an Electrocardiogram (EKG), ...
Medicare Carriers Manual, §15047 (G), explains how to report preoperative tests. (The reference will be crosswalked to the CMS Manual System, Publication 100-04, Medicare Claims Processing Manual, Chapter 12, §30.6.6.1 as soon as it becomes available.)
A laboratory or a portable X-ray supplier that supplies an ECG must maintain in its records the referring physician’s written order and the identity of the employee taking the tracing.
Contractors may specify Revenue Codes to help providers identify those Revenue Codes typically used to report this service. In most instances Revenue Codes are purely advisory. Unless specified in the article, services reported under other Revenue Codes are equally subject to this coverage determination. Complete absence of all Revenue Codes indicates that coverage is not influenced by Revenue Code and the article should be assumed to apply equally to all Revenue Codes.
CMS Manual System, Publication 100-04, Medicare Claims Processing Manual, Chapter 13, §100.1, states that in general only one payment is made for one interpretation of an EKG.
Title XVIII of the Social Security Act, §1862 (a) (7) and 42 Code of Federal Regulations, §411.15, exclude routine physical examinations.
Medicare generally pays for only one reading of a diagnostic test. Medicare’s rules are clearly explained in the Internet-Only Manual, Pub. 100-04, Medicare Claims Processing Manual, Chapter 13, Section 100.1 which made clear with public notice and comment that CMS policy would not pay for routine second readings). While Chapter 13 is titled, “Radiology Services”, Section 100.1 is titled “X-rays and EKGs furnished to Emergency Room Patients.” The principles apply to double-readings of diagnostic tests in general. The following paragraphs quote extensively from Section 100.1. [Emphasis added by this A/B MAC]

Additional information from ICD10 Coding Guidelines Section I.C.21, under "Routine and Administrative Examinations." It states: "The Z codes allow for the description of encounters for routine examinations, such as general check-up....During a routine exam, should a diagnosis or condition be discovered, it should be coded as an additional code."
If the patient presents for a scheduled wellness encounter and expresses symptoms, ICD-10 CM has an excludes1 note for this look aunt the Z00.0 subcategory and the Z01category. It says excludes 1 signs and symptoms. Excludes 1 means they cannot be coded together and the note goes further to instruct to code to the signs and symptoms. This means you cannot bill the symptoms expressed by the patient with the general wellness visit.#N#I did not say that you cannot bill abnormal findings with a preventive. However a patient that expresses a symptom or complaint is not an abnormal finding.
According to instructions in CPT, if an abnormality is encountered or a preexisting problem is addressed in the process of performing a preventiv e medicine evaluation, and if the problem is significant enough to perform the key components of a problem-oriented visit , then the appropriate office/outpatient code should be reported in addition to the preventive. This happens often and is very much billable scenario according to AMA CPT guidelines. If there is written references to the contrary, I would ask to see that information.
But we are instructed to code to the signs and symptoms only if the patient presents for a wellness visit as a sick patient.
I did not say you were incorrect either, just that the ICD-10 CM codes do not allow for symtoms and complaints to be coded with the general medical visit codes. Abnormal findings yes.
Looking at the affordable care acts rule about no copay for a preventive visit, it seems to be just that you cannot be charged a copay "for the preventive visit" itself; it says nothing about not being allowed to charge an additional office visit, if valid and necessary. in fact, more than one article I've read makes it clear that a patient could be charged a copay if something non-preventive was done during a preventive visit.
