I am trying to determine how to correctly code for a pre-employment exam and I have been unable to find a clear answer on the forum or in the CPT book. My practice is currently using an e/m level visit (99201-99205, 99211-99215), but this seems incorrect since there is no problem to evaluate and manage. My administrator has informed me they are not physicals, so we cannot use a preventative code (99385-99387, 99395-99397). They are just a visit for the provider to confirm the patient is fit for the job description and complete the employer's paperwork. Since the company is the one usually paying for these, we are not concerned with insurance denials - but I still want to make sure I am coding them correctly. Is anyone able to offer more information? Please and thank you!
