I hope this isn't a repeat question but would like some guidance. If a patient is being seen for their annual preventative visit and the provider addresses their chronic condition (i.e. HTN) and prescribes their meds (refills for HTN), can we use the Z00.01 diagnosis code? OR does this turn into an established visit. The providers do not code two visits at one encounter (e/m-25 and preventative). Need clarification on when Z00.01 is appropriate to use as a diagnosis.
Thanks
