so I was wondering when it comes to well child exams can z00.121 and z00.129 be used in the same chart.
For instance a child the age of 6 comes in and they have a hemoglobin check (85018) done which is normal, and they have some acute illness that would render the z00.121. Could you have the hemoglobin (85018) with the z00.129- encounter for routine child exam without abnormal findings, and 99393 (established patient age 5-11 yrs) with a z00.121- encounter for routine child exam with abnormal findings, as well as whatever the abnormal problem DX is on the same chart? Or does everything on the chart become a z00.121 since there was an abnormal finding? Please help and thank you for your time!
