Wiki Z01.419

[tracylc10]

Is there an age range on dx code Z01.419? I don't see anything stating that there is, but it is being denied for a 19 year old pt and we are being told by the insurance that this code is for 21 and over.

Thank you.

Not per se, but I'm guessing the issue is probably because the age of first Pap/pelvic exam is usually 21

Unless they are sexually active. What code should be used for someone under 21 having a pap?
