If a patient is coded o09.511 for lab work and they are not 35 or older. Can we code it z34.01 or do we need to contact the office? My thoughts are if they are giving a high risk code to start with that we then can't give it a low risk code.

Thank you,

The office should always be contacted. They may have made an error and meant to use a different high risk code.
