Patient comes in for sinusitis and provider wants to prescribe Cipro, but wants to screen the patient for pregnancy prior to prescription. No other symptoms. Besides the coding for sinusitis as the primary diagnosis ---
Would the z32.00/z32.01/z32.02 coding be appropriate to justify the pregnancy test and would you also add Z01.812 (blood or urine testing prior to "treatment or procedure"?
