Wiki DX Code submission for e/m office visit when billed with a physical

[slaughterchad]

When billing an e/m office visit 9921X with a physical 9939X, do you need to separate the dx specific codes for each one for claim submission, or is it only important that the documentation support the addition of the e/m as a separate service? I'm wondering if it's ok to just remove the Z00.00 code from the e/m and submit all of the rest of the dx codes from the physical with the e/m when a provider doesn't specify which specific dx codes were the ones they used to calculate their e/m?

Dx Z00.00 is a PDX and it should be billed with Preventive visit 9938X- 9939X CPT codes only. if medical record support for both office visit e/m 9921X and Preventive visit 9939X means we can code and Tag dx Z00.00 only to preventive Visit 9939X procedure code.
