Is there a CPT code for a no show for a physical exam
 
No there is no CPT code and you cannot bill the insurance company for a no show. Many offices have no show policies and bill the patient, this is accepatable as long as the policy is explained to the patient and is administered the same for everyone.
 
I agree with the above. There is no cpt code for no shows, but you can charge a no show fee. Provided you have a policy in place and clearly explained to the patients in advance.
 
We just created a N/S code for these. You cannot bill insurance for no-shows.

And be careful! In our state, we are prohibited from billing no-show fees to Medicaid patients (even though they have the highest rate of no-show).

Also, some WC contracts prohibit the contracted provider from billing their patients for no-shows; you'll want to review those contracts.
