We are trying to find a ICD-9 code for when we send patients to get a blood HCG to rule out pregnancy prior to the administraion of DEPO provera, a contraceptive injection. Can anyone help us?? Thank you!!!

V72.41-Pregnancy exam or test negative result.

I would code V72.40-Pregnancy examination or test, pregnancy unconfirmed, because ''blood HCG to rule out pregnancy prior to the administraion of DEPO provera, a contraceptive injection'' this is not support for ''negative result''

Dear Balamurugan: WHY did I not think of that? Of course it would be the V72.40 not V72.41. You are a genius. Thank you.
