Hi, I just wanted to see if anyone else has ever been told this or can help with this dilemma of mine.
I have been told that if a patient has a history of recurring uti's, does not currently have one BUT is prescribed medication for it (methenamine, D-mannose, cranberry supplement etc) as a preventative measure, to NOT use the Z87.440 but to use N39.0.
What do you guys think? I feel like the Z code should still be used and just consider the RX under the risk category. Or am I wrong?
