hemoccult card diagnosis code

what is the code to use for diagnosis codes on hemoccult cards - instead of using V code

re: hemoccult card diagnosis code

I use any GI related code such as constipation, rectal bleeding,etc.

Now wait a minute- you need to use the code that applies to the reason you did the test! If it was screening for colon ca, use v76.41. Patient has no coverage- too bad. Don't commit fraud! If they had rectal bleeding, use that code, etc.

Yes I use the diagnosis the patient presents with which in my case is GI related. For screening for colon cancer I use V76.51.
