Patient comes in for her annual Well-Woman's exam, but is not do yet for a pap smear, so we don't do one.
She comes back a week later saying that her insurance told her that she should have a pap smear and that it is a covered benefit.
The doctor spends time counseling the patient on pap smear guidelines and how she is not due for one yet.
What ICD-10-CM code would you choose? I was thinking something like Z71.2 (Person consulting for explanation of examination or test findings) or Z71.89 (Other specified counseling).
Is there any better option to describe the situation?
Thank you!
