Encounter for pregnancy test, result negative
ICD-10 Z32.02 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of encounter for pregnancy test, result negative.
Z32.02 is used to document an encounter for a pregnancy test that yields a negative result. This code is significant in preventive care as it reflects the patient's proactive approach to reproductive health. The encounter may occur in various settings, including primary care, obstetrics, and family planning clinics. Social determinants of health, such as access to healthcare, education, and socioeconomic status, can influence a patient's decision to seek testing. Preventive care is crucial in identifying potential health issues early, and negative pregnancy tests can lead to further discussions about reproductive health, contraception, and family planning. This code also plays a role in tracking population health trends and ensuring that women receive appropriate screenings and counseling regarding their reproductive health.
Documentation should include the reason for the pregnancy test, the result, and any follow-up recommendations.
