Narcotics
Dr prescribes "Narcotic" to patient. Before she refills the meds, Dr. performs a drug screen, what would be the correct icd9 code for monitoring? Patient is not drug dependent, just to monitor due to patient being prescribed norcotics?
re: Narcotics
I use V58.69: Long-term (current) use of other medications long term current use of methadone, long term current use of opiate analgesic, and other high-risk medications.

So do I.
re: Narcotics
Where did you find all the descriptions stated above for V5869? So I can use this Icd9 code with 80101/G0434?
Thank you so much!
