Is Z00.7 billable?

Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from Z00

The conditions below can never be reported together with Z00.7 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.

  • encounter for examination for administrative purposes (Z02.-)

Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Z00-Z13

The conditions below are not part of Z00.7, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, Z00.7 and the excluded code may both be reported.

  • examinations related to pregnancy and reproduction (Z30-Z36, Z39.-)

Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Z00

The conditions below are not part of Z00.7, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, Z00.7 and the excluded code may both be reported.

  • encounter for pre-procedural examinations (Z01.81-)
  • special screening examinations (Z11-Z13)
