V72.62 crosswalk to Z00.00

Our practice routinely used V72.62; Laboratory examination ordered as part of a routine general medical examination. The crosswalk reference is Z00.00;Encounter for general adult medical examination...which doesn't seem like a good match. I have looked but I have not discovered a different ICD10 code to use in place of ICD9 V72.62. Has anyone else? Thank you

V72.62 crosswalk to ICD-10 for a CHILD

The V72.62 crosswalk to Z00.00 works for an ADULT (age 15-124). We need a corresponding crosswalk to ICD-10 if the patient is a CHILD (below the age of 15).
Z00.129 - Encounter for routine child health examination - does not include the wording "and any associated laboratory and radiologic examinations" that is included with Z00.00 - Encounter for general adult medical examination.
