I need some advice one of our physicians keeps coding patients visits with a 99387 (preventative medicine) with use of ICD-10 codes: Z86.010 personal history of polyps, or Z12.11 Encounter screening for malignant neoplasm of colon. My issue is some of our patients are Medicare patients and as you know Medicare covers an annual wellness visit once a year. Should these be coded as an OV rather than preventative? Your help is greatly appreciated.
