pt Comes in for arm pain and mentions they have been out of lisinopril For 5 days , Which they take for long term use for their htn . Pt isn’t having any bp issues. Final arm pain. Under the MDM MD states he refilled pt’s lisinopril. would you code a T code for under dosing? Seeing how the pt was taking it long term and the Z79 states it’s for continuous use , pt has been out so he is not taking it continuously so I should not code a long Term use z79. Or should I pick the Z79 up as the MD prescribed if for a chronic medical condition and it is the understanding That it will be taken continuously? Also since the pt didn’t come In for a refill i should not code encounter for refill? thank you
