ICD-10 codes for preventive screenings are a relatively easy crosswalk from ICD-9 as well. For example, ICD-9 codes V81.0, Screening ischemic heart disease
A condition where the major blood vessels supplying the heart are narrowed.

In these cases, the sign or symptom is used to explain the reason for the test.
Screening is the testing for disease or disease precursors in seemingly well individuals so that early detection and treatment can be provided for those who test positive for the disease (e.g., screening mammogram).
Preventive visits, like many procedural services, are bundled services. Unlike documenting problem-oriented E/M office visits (99201–99215), which involves complicated coding guidelines, documenting preventive visits is more straightforward. The following components are needed: 1 A comprehensive history and physical exam findings; 2 A description of the status of chronic, stable problems that are not “significant enough to require additional work,” according to CPT; 3 Notes concerning the management of minor problems that do not require additional work; 4 Notes concerning age-appropriate counseling, screening labs, and tests; 5 Orders for vaccines appropriate for age and risk factors.

A description of the status of chronic, stable problems that are not “significant enough to require additional work,” according to CPT; Notes concerning the management of minor problems that do not require additional work; Notes concerning age-appropriate counseling, screening labs, and tests;
Visual acuity testing is not separately reimbursed. Without a new or chronic-disease diagnosis, all labs and other tests ordered during a preventive visit are for screening purposes, and an ICD-9 code for screening should be assigned on the order form and claim.
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. For example, if you provide significant counseling on smoking cessation during a visit for an ankle sprain, you could bill for the counseling in addition to submitting an E/M office visit code for the problem-oriented service. A synopsis of the counseling should be included in your documentation, and ICD-9 codes for preventive counseling should be paired with your CPT codes (see “ Acceptable codes for preventive counseling services ”). Such a visit requires the use of modifier 25.

CPT says modifier 25 is appropriate when there is a “significant, separately identifiable evaluation and management service by the same physician on the same day.”. Stated another way, if the second service requires enough additional work that it could stand on its own as an office visit, use modifier 25.
