I am getting this message from one of our state medicaid MCOs in reference to the diagnosis code associated with an E/M CPT. the CPT is 99214 and the diagnosis code is Z33.2. What are the rules for pairing DX codes with CPT codes? I thought when an E/M is done, and a decision for surgery(minor) is made for the same day, the DX code for the procedure could be attached to the E/M code. Am I missing something?
