I really need Help on this anybody..
I want to know what would be the dx code for this example:
Patient is an exisitng patient has been previously diag with high cholesterol
the patient needs to see the dr every 6m for med refill and blood work per the dr request.
what dx code would be used 272.0 or a screening example v77.91?????
patient stated that the insurance would pay if it was a routine dx code but since we used 272.0 they will not pay?
also per the patient the insurance rep told her that because we know she has the high cholesterol that we should not be trying to dx her. I told her that we use the dx code because we are managing the meds? is this right?
please someone explain to me if this is right
