We had a 61 year old woman for annual physical exam. She had various problems including a history of hyperlipidemia, so the doctor ordered a fasting Lipid Panel check. The doctor did not list symptoms for the lipid test, just the final dx note that stated Hx of Hyperlipidema. My understanding is that a lipid test is included in a Well Woman exam, so for this situation I would not list any dx codes relating to the Hyperlipidemia. ANy thoughts?
