When a patient comes in for a specific complaint in an office visit and a provider wants do routine labs in addition to the visit unrelated to the complain. Are those coded with screening codes specific to what they are looking for? I've been seeing providers not understanding why they shouldn't use a code like Z00.00 for routine labs when it is not a preventative visit.
I want to confirm the correct way of coding this to be sure.
