are these two considered screening? and if yes, would Z11.3/Z11.8 be an appropriate dx to use? Also for 87661(trichomonas). Maybe using the Z01.419. I noticed 87661 is subject to ded meaning it was handled as a diagnostic test even if billed w/a Z11.3/Z11.8 to indicate screening test.
thank you

The Z11.3 and Z11.8 are the correct screening codes for the GC and CT we also use the Z11.3 for the Trich as well.
The Z01.419 is the pap smear code and will not pay for these tests. Also be mindful the if the patient is 24yrs old and younger than you can use the Z11.3 and Z11.8. However if the patient over 24yrs old will require a diagnosis such as leukorrhea, etc.
Good luck
