Hello OB Experts,
If a patient is at their 0503F appointment and the encounter included the discussion for tubal ligation, then ordered by the provider, is Z30.2 appropriate? I looked at some ACOG guidance and see:
If a patient comes in to discuss contraception options but no procedure is provided at that visit:
The discussion is NOT reported separately if it takes place during a preventive visit (99381– 99387 or 99391–99397).
If the discussion takes place during an E/M office or outpatient visit (99201–99215), link the E/M code with the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code Z30.09 (Encounter for other general counseling and advice on contraception).
3M gives an excludes 1. As the patient is not having the procedure, rather would like to schedule at a future date, is Z30.2 appropriate as I read this as a code to use the date the op takes place.
Thanks for any takers...
