There are right and wrong ways to code these exams. If you perform a comprehensive physical, choose a procedure code from the Preventive Medicine codes CPT 99381-99387 for a new patient, or CPT 99391-99397 for an established patient, and select the code based on the patients age.
Secondly, what is the CPT code for preventive care exam? Preventive visit codes 99381-99397 include “counseling/anticipatory guidance/risk factor reduction interventions,” according to CPT. However, when such counseling is provided as part of a separate problem-oriented encounter, it may be billed using preventive medicine codes 99401-99409.
One may also ask, what is the CPT code for wellness exam?
Again, billing is not done using the normal wellness-exam CPT codes (99381-99397) – such claims will be rejected by Medicare as “non-covered services” – but instead one uses new, Medicare-only codes: G0438 for initial visits, and G0439 for subsequent visits. These codes became effective January 1, 2011.
