Rpr

What ICD-9 code is used for RPR testing lab routine screening?

Routine?

I'd be pissed if my doctor ordered an RPR as a routine test. (Do I look that sleazy?) There must have been a symptom or complaint to order that!

How completely unprofessional this comment was.The patient asked for this test. No reason to blame the Doctor for everything. There was no symtons just routine.
Is their a DX code for routine RPR?

Sorry

I am sorry if you were offended. As your clarification says, it was NOT a routine test as you first stated. The patient asked for it- they requested screening for a sexually transmitted disease. A routine test is a blood pressure, pulse, weight, BMI- something done routinely. That little bit of information would have allowed me to give you a better answer like V74.5 screening for Venereal disease or any of terri's codes, depending on the history.

you could use V69.2 HIGH RISK SEXUAL BEHAVIOR or V01.6 CONTACT WITH/EXPOSURE TO VENEREAL DISEASE
