We will be performing capillary blood draws for lead testing in-house, is it appropriate to code as follows:

36416 Capillary Blood Draw AND 83655 Assay of Lead

In addition, I am very confused on what diagnosis code to use.

Z13.88 Encounter for screening for disorder due to exposure to contaminants

Z77.011 Contact with (and suspected) exposure to lead

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you
