Is there a specific code for an encounter to verify that the patient is taking his/her prescribed medications? I'm not finding one in the 2017 ICD-10 book. I'm thinking Z01.89 - encounter other specified special exam, or Z13.9 - encounter screening, unspecified, with notes describing the reason for the visit/encounter. Any suggestions or input would be appreciated.

Thank you.
