I am getting denials when trying to bill a covid follow up visit. Per the updates webinar, we are supposed to bill
1. z09 (encounter for f/u exam)
2. z86.16 (personal hx of covid 19)
and I am also billing z02.5 (return to sports clearance)
I got a denial sending it that way for primary dx. I tried sending with z86.16 as primary, and they denied it again for the same reason, principal dx.
What am I doing wrong here? Any ideas?
