Hi
When a patient comes for the COVID test I put J39.8 Upper Resp dx or J10 as primary dx linked with COVID lab test CPT. Then add last dx Z11.52 Encounter for checking for COVID when using lab codes. Also if pt. got the COVID cooties again then put dx Z86.16 of Past HO of Covid if retesting or use dx code U09 which is 2nd time the pt. has the COVID cooties. :confused: Or if pt has been around folks with Covid use dx code of Z20.828 code. i hope this is what you are wanting to know.
Have a good day!
