In our office, we only do UA's during a WCC if a patient is chronic or complaining of symptoms. Does anyone do UA's on all their WCC's? If so, does it pay out when billed with Z00.129/121?

Does anyone bill 92567/Tympanometry with their WCC's? Does it pay out when billed with Z01.10/.11? We are thinking of using this on the younger kids who don't always answer when they hear the "beeps".
 
In our office we do not bill UA with well child but they can be used for chlamydia testing during WCC. Tympanometry is not done during a well visit.
Her is what AAP.org says:
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP)/American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP)/Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) guideline on OME recommends that performance of tympanometry be optional for confirming suspected OME
So we generally always have a suspected reason for preforming this test.

Hope this helps:
