If it is a screening then the patient is asymptomatic and you need a V code for screening. Medicare will either consider a covered screening or it will be patient responsibility.
If the test is being performed because the patient has symptoms, then you use the code for those documented symptoms. Again Medicare will either cover the test for medical necessity or it will be patient responsibility.
You cannot use a code not documented for by the provider for the specific encounter in question.
