Hello I wanted to know for a well child visit if the provider finds an abnormal finding for auditory screening and all other screenings are normal can two different z codes be used for billing purposes?
No, I would not use both - I'm not sure why you would want to as it would be contradictory. If the exam resulted in an abnormal finding, then Z00.121 is the correct code and Z00.129 would be incorrect.Hello I wanted to know for a well child visit if the provider finds an abnormal finding for auditory screening and all other screenings are normal can two different z codes be used for billing purposes?
You would code z00.121 with the appropriate preventative cpt code (99391-99394). You would only code z00.129 if nothing abnormal was found during the entire encounter.If the well child exam is abnormal and the developmental screenings are normal - how would you code that?
