ICD-10 for long term use of metoprolol
Without seeming facetious, I use an ICD-10 coding book. Metoprolol does not come under any of the possible 'long term (current) drug therapy' codes (Z79.01-Z79.891) because it is none of those drugs, but it does come under 'other long term drug therapy (Z79.899)' for that very reason.
Not sure how to explain it more clearly.

I think it is fair to ask what code would you assign?
