Wiki Tubal consult DX code

[S.Barfield]

Hello,

If a patient comes in for office today for a tubal ligation consult, which is the proper dx? Z30.2 or Z30.8. Being told that since it's a consult and not the actual tubal that Z30.8 should be used. Please give your thoughts.

I would only use Z30.2 on the procedure. For the discussion, you could use Z30.09
