Wiki ER Screening for domestic violence

[patricia dougherty]

Does anyone know if there is a code or which code I should use for screening of domestic violence in the ER for a pregnant woman?

Are you looking for ICD-9 DX code or CPT?

I believe this would be considered part of the E/M level as far as service coding goes.

I'd argue it's inclusive of the E/M (e.g., social history).
