Wiki Coding for a Blood Pressure Screen

[fredcpc]

What are the correct codes for a simple Blood Pressure screen by a nurse. There are no apparent doctor's orders or dx for medical necessity. Only a reading was given, 140/90. What are the codes...or can it even be coded?

Thank you for your help...

Honestly a nurse is not suppose to do any service unless she is operating under a physician order.
