Wiki Cystic Fibrosis testing

[swiedner7]

Is anyone ordering cystic fibrosis testing for pregnant patients? ACOG does recommend it but we are having problems with some insurance covering. What dx code are you using? We have been using Z13.71 but one insurance said this was the wrong code.

That seems reasonable, since Z13.71 specifies that it's for nonprocreative screening. Z31.430, Encounter of female for testing for genetic disease carrier status for procreative management, seems like a better fit.
