The topic of how and when to code with abnormal findings keep resurfacing in my office. My understanding is if a child had a previous dx of ADHD, this would be coded as child health examination Z00.12. If however you had a child who presents with behavioral concerns (new) and further follow up is needed, Z00.121.
If a child has an ear infection at the time of the exam, would you code this as an abnormal finding? Any clarification to this would be helpful.
Thank you,
