Does anyone have any idea what diagnosis code should be used when a patient comes in to see the nurse for a pill count?
 
Depending on what type of pill it is there may be a long term use code that could be used


For example:


Z79.891 - Long term (current) use of opiate analgesic
Long term (current) use of methadone for pain management
