icd 9 code for dot physical exam

I would not use the preventative medicine E/M codes for a DOT physical. I don't think a DOT exam meets the criteria for a preventative. This is more administrative in nature. I would report code 99499 (unlisted E/M) and ICD-9-CM code of V70.3 or V70.5 depending on what the physicial is for.
