Is it required to ALWAYS list a Z79.-- code when using Z51.81? I am getting conflicting information and would like to pass on to one of our physicians that uses this code.
 
Yes, the ICD-10 book says "code also". A patient wouldn't need therapeutic drug monitoring if they weren't on a drug that needed to be monitored. Z79.- lists the type of drug being monitored.
