We are having a discussion in our facility. When patients come in and have STI tests, some providers feel that if the patient is sexually active outside of a monogomous relationship then the testing should be coded as "contact with or exposure to STDs". Other providers feel that if there are no symptoms, the tests are screening. I need something definitive in writing to establish a policy so that all are coding consistantly. Can anyone help?
