Z20.828 is currently the correct diagnosis. Beginning January 1, 2021, use the new code Z20.822.

This is what I've been using. Some insurances require Z029( administrative). Also considered Z03818 after results are in as negative. There is some confusion by the verbage of Z20828 suspected or exposure to ( which the hospital workers are not necessarily actual exposures) but during the pandemic I would think we are all at risk of exposure. Thank you.
