Wiki Norco-for pain management

[LuckyLily]

Greetings,

If a patient is on long term Norco for pain management and they are given a tox screen would the diagnosis be,

Z51.81 therapeutic drug level monitoring
Z79.891 long term (current) use of opiate analgesic or Z79.899 Other long term (current) drug therapy.

I'm unsure if Norco is considered an opiate analgesic.

Thanks for the help.

Norco is considered an opiate analgesic

Both diagnosis can be used.
