May I use R87.820 HPV DNA test positive for an RNA test positive for a cervical cancer patient?

ICD-10 guidelines don't allow code assignment from test results - only from physician (or NPP provider) statements that are documented in the record. So you can only code this if a provider has documented a confirmation of the result.

Thanks you for the response, it is documented in the record. She has high-risk HPV positive by RNA ISH. I guess I'm confused because of the descriptor stating DNA?
