Hi There,
We used to use icd 9 code v68.89 when we would bill for Medical Records or when the doctor would respond to an IME or write a report.

Our software converts V69.89 to Z0289.
Anyone have any experience with this yet?


Z0289 Encounter for other administrative examinations Y
V6889 ENCOUNTERS FOR OTH SPEC ADMINISTRATIVE PURPOSE Y N
 
This is where GEMS fail. This section of ICD was greatly expanded. Look at the whole Z02 range.

Examples:

Z02.6
Encounter for examination for insurance purposes

Z02.1
Encounter for pre-employment examination

Z02.0
Encounter for examination for admission to educational institution
Encounter for examination for admission to preschool (education)
Encounter for examination for re-admission to school following illness or medical treatment
