When is is appropriate to use IC10 Z76.89 (PERSONS ENCOUNTERING HEALTH SERVICES IN OTHER SPECIFIED CIRCUMSTANCES NOS)? One of our physicians uses it when he sees a new patient, there are other diagnoses to cover the reason for the visit with the appropriate new patient cpt code 99201-99205. Is this code even applicable to a new patient visit or when would one use it?
