Wiki Dx code for annual physical

[lapcpc1]

What is the most appropriate diagnosis code when coding for an annual physical (female)? The provider does the breast and pelvic exam as well.

V72.31 is the best code to use. If no gyne exam is performed, use V70.0.

 

[cedwards]

I agree with carafry. V72.31 states Routine gynecological examination. General gynecological examination with or without Papanicolaou cervical smear. Pelvice examination (annual) periodic).
