Provider Gives the code J02.0 , positive strep test, group A streptococcus as the cause of diseases classified elsewhere
Would you change the code to J02.8 with the B95.0 code as the infectious agent ?What about if a provider saw a Pt with a negative strep test but still codes J02.0 ?
Our providers are confused about these codes any explanation is appreciated !JennB
