Wiki Code for pill count

[maryek28@outlook.com]

Does anyone have any idea what diagnosis code should be used when a patient comes in to see the nurse for a pill count?

How about Z76.89 "Persons encountering health services in other specified circumstances"

 

[CodingKing]

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
