Drug screening diagnosis code for patient on Adderall

[dthompson@carolinamedical.us]

Currently we are billing drug screening with a Dx of Z02.89 which is not what it is for. These screenings are done mainly on patients taking Adderall for ADHD. What other code is a better descriptor of why the drug screening is being done.

I would look at z51.81 for therapeutic drug monitoring With a Z79.899 as secondary code.
