Wiki Biometric visits

[olgunchik]

Hello all,
Need help to code biometric visits, where patient brings special form to complete, which requires vital sign and lab results. What icd-9 and cpt will you use?
I am thinking 99211 and V72.85. Any other suggestions, please?
Thanks

Look at 96150 or 96152 for the CPT. Is this for an employer program?

96150 might work. any suggestions with icd-9?
I guess, it is employer's program.
thanks

I think the one you had is probably the best. V72.85

my opinion

I have gone thru the opinion, but I have different view.

Since Biometric screening is performed for corporate wellness, in another word for employer. V72.85 (other special screening) I would suggest to use V70.5 (which includes Occupational Health examinations)

So I would recomend to use V70.5

If anyother view, please share.

Biometric Screening

If there is no physical exam performed, my suggestion is to code Biometric Screening with CPT 99401 and ICD 9 V70.0.
