Hello,
I'm working a superbill that lists the Dx as "post exposure prophylaxis." Basically, the patient was exposed to a potentially hazardous bodily fluid (blood from a patient w/known HIV) while at work. The patient presented to the Infectious Disease clinic to discuss questions about the testing process, possibility of contracting HIV from the exposure, medication side effects, etc. I've come up with the code V15.85 for the exposure, but I'm unsure what primary Dx code to use for the visit. I appreciate any help, thank you!
