We saw a patient that is traveling out of the country and wanted to discuss recommended travel vaccines with our physician; we are her PCP. The patient has original Medicare so my concern is the Dx codes that my provider used; Z71.89 Other specified counseling and Z11.59 Encounter for screening for other viral diseases. I can’t find another code to use in place of these Z codes and I’m concerned this won’t get paid with Medicare. There was nothing else discussed.

Advice?? I appreciate any feedback…
