Wiki Keep it or omit it

Good afternoon, everyone who reads this thread.

I have a bad problem with second guessing myself. If the providers add diagnosis codes Z12.11 or any of the screening lab codes, do I need to keep in my charge reviews? I have been taking them out.

Sincerely,

Hi Encomma
I d keep the Z dx codes. It is extra data for the payers to view as more details on patient s condition. I assume you can use also use additional definitive or symptom code if the provider put it down on his or her assessment.
I hope helped you
