Hello,
I am trying to find the right encounter code for a patient who is at high risk of a pulmonary embolism/DVT as there is a family history. The patient themselves do not have any active PE or DVT. I have tried billing out Z76.89 but, was denied. Should I just be billing out the code for the family history? Or is there encounter code that I should be billing out as primary? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
