In an outpatient behavioral health setting when a provider prescribes medication long term to treat a chronic mental illness should Z79.899 be coded in addition to the diagnosis code(s)? i.e. ADHD and Adderall prescribed long term. Should both ADHD and Z79.899 be coded and put on claim? I have read the guidelines in ICD-10 CM code book and it's still not absolutely clear to me.
Thanks in advance for any insight you can give me.
