Here is my problem. Medicare patient calls and makes an appt for a physical. They come in a week prior to get their labs done. The lab codes this with V70.0. The day of the Physical the Dr is reading the results and finds the patient has hypertension, or high cholesterol. The labs have already been sent to Medicare. Can we change the DX on some of the tests to reflect the findings? I say no. But the Dr is not buying that.
