The patient has rheumatoid arthritis. One of the diagnosis on the order for the labs as outpatient is bone suppression from methotrexate. Would there be anyway to code this? thank you

you could try 995.29--usnpecified adverse effect of other drug, medicinal and biological substance, plus the E935.6 Antirheumatics to identify the drug causing the adverse reaction.
