it is neither. The patient is symptomatic so it cannot be screening. There is no confirmation of an exposure to anything. Therefore it is a diagnostic test for the symptom of a discharge (vaginal or penile)
THANK YOU,
you just confirmed exactly what I was thinking....the discharge is what should be coded!
Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
