Question

I have a provider that provides Department of Transportation (DOT) exams. I have found ICD-10 code Z02.4 (encounter for examination for drivers license) but I am unsure which CPT Code to use. Would I still use 99203 or 99204?

Answer

It would be inappropriate to use E/M office visit codes as these require all the components of a 'sick' visit (e.g., chief complaint, PFSH, Exam, and Medical Decision Making) which do NOT fit the DOT exam. We have heard that some people use the preventive medicine codes ( 99381 - 99387, 99391 - 99397 ), but those too have specific E/M requirements.
