I am a little confused on ICD-10 code Z00.00 and Z00.01. I don't really understand the abnormal findings indicated in Z00.01. If a patient is seen and complains of "heartburn" but has not been diagnosed with GERD until this visit then should the provider use Z00.00 or Z00.01? I just don't understand if the abnormal findings are things that were not previously diagnosed but the patient complains about and the provider diagnoses in the appointment or if they are things that the provider has to order additional testing to confirm the diagnosis or something else. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
