An established patient presents to the clinic today for a follow-up of his pneumonia. He was hospitalized for 6 days on IV antib
iotics. He was placed back on Singulair and has been doing well with his breathing since then. An expanded problem focused exam was performed. Records were obtained from the hospital and the provider reviewed the labs and X-rays. The patient was told to continue antibiotics for another two weeks to 20 days, and the prescription Keteck was replaced with Zithromax. Patient is to return to the clinic in two weeks for recheck of his breathing and follow up X-ray. What CPT® code is reported?
It is a valid HCPCS 2020 code for azithromycin dihydrate, oral, medicine used in medical care. Azithromycin is a type of antibiotic called macrolides. Eliminates bacteria that cause infections, including infections in the throat, ears, tonsils, some infections of the skin, urethra or uterus and to treat bronchitis and pneumonia
Honestly, I'm not positive myself. All I can say is that overworking your joints without enough cool-down time will put you at high risk for arthritis.
