I have a question about using Z codes in a general office visit. so say a patient comes in for a scheduled visit and has hepatitis C. During this visit blood is drawn for screening of thyroid, lipid panel and STI's. My question is do I code only the Diagnosis for each procedure (Chronic Hepatitis C, B18.2) or do I code the Z Codes (Z13.2, Z11.3) or both?
