ICD10 2022 Optum 360 shows "This code is not appropriate for use during the pandemic phase of Covid-19. Use Z20.822; contact with or suspected exposure to Covid-19 instead." My patient is getting screened for travel. Why would a tip be written unless it applied to all circumstances which does not seem the situation in my case. Hence, the correct code for my patient is Z20.822 contact. (?). This seems just wrong.
