Physicians are used to order labs CBC, CMP, TSH, Lipids for asymptomatic Medicare patients with Z00.00. "Z00.00" is not a valid dx for ordering labs on pts. So my question is: Can the physician order Cbc, Cmp, Tsh, Lipids as part of AWV and what diagnosis codes should he use ? What exact labs can he order during Wellness visit? Thank you!
