I have been asked to add this code to clinic followup visits when long term opioid medications have been prescribed.
LONG-TERM CURRENT USE OF OTHER MEDICATIONS (V58.69) - USE FOR PATIENTS ON HIGH RISK MEDICATION
Does anyone have experience with this code? Is it appropriate to use it for monthly "medication refill "visits? This is one I haven't seen before.
Thanks.
