Encounter for HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis
ICD-10 Z29.81 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of encounter for hiv pre-exposure prophylaxis.
Z29.81 is used to document encounters for HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), a preventive strategy for individuals at high risk of HIV infection. This code reflects the importance of preventive care in managing health risks associated with HIV. Factors influencing health status include socioeconomic status, access to healthcare, and education about HIV transmission and prevention. Social determinants such as housing stability, employment, and community support systems play a crucial role in an individual's ability to engage in preventive health measures. Regular encounters for PrEP not only provide medication but also involve counseling, risk assessment, and routine screenings for HIV and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs). This proactive approach is essential in reducing the incidence of HIV and improving overall public health outcomes.
Document patient history, risk factors, and counseling provided during encounters.
Routine checkups for patients on PrEP, follow-up visits for medication refills, and screenings for STIs.
Consider social determinants such as access to transportation and housing stability when assessing patient adherence to PrEP.
Document population-level data, surveillance of HIV incidence, and outreach efforts.
Community health initiatives promoting PrEP, epidemiological studies assessing PrEP effectiveness.
Focus on health equity and access to PrEP among marginalized populations.
Used during PrEP encounters to document counseling provided.
Document the time spent and topics covered during counseling.
Important for primary care providers to ensure comprehensive preventive care.
Often performed during PrEP follow-up visits to monitor overall health.
Include results and any necessary follow-up actions.
Relevant for assessing cardiovascular risk in patients on PrEP.
Documentation must include patient risk factors for HIV, counseling provided, and any follow-up plans. It is essential to capture the comprehensive nature of the preventive care provided during the encounter.
