Encntr for general adult medical exam w/o abnormal findings

This code signifies a routine health check-up for an adult patient where no health problems or concerns were identified during the examination. It indicates that the patient is currently in good health and no further diagnostic or therapeutic interventions are warranted based on this visit.

This code is appropriate for annual physicals or preventative health screenings for adults who present with no specific complaints and are found to be healthy. It should be used when the examination yields entirely normal results and no risk factors or conditions requiring follow-up are documented.

• Always ensure the medical record explicitly states "no abnormal findings" or similar language to support this code.
• Do not use this code if any abnormal findings, even minor ones, are documented, regardless of whether they require immediate treatment.
• Pair this code with appropriate CPT codes for the preventative medicine examination.
