With the CDC announcement that all "Baby Boomers", those of us born between 1946 and 1965, should be screened for Hepatitis C - 86803 - Anti-HCV ab test, the question has been put to me, "What diagnosis code should we us, and is it payable?"

Any thoughts....I am at a loss, because without suspected exposure, how should it be coded?
