Though it is for routine evaluation and management of a healthy and no complaint' client , these codes are intended to be used to identify COMPREHENSIVE (nature) Services-meaning- Multisystem Examination – the determinants for the extent of examination being age and the risk factors; I don't think any ‘tag' on the type of Physician attached to it! So if an Urologist agrees /willing to provide service to his established patients , WHY NOT?
As such, though/if not a NEW Patient, the ESTABLISHED patient with the category FOR “PERIODIC COMPREHENSIVE PREVENTIVE MEDICINE”, Why not?
The Code series description states, “RE-EVALUATION AND MANAGEMENT OF AN INDIVIDUAL, including an age and gender appropriate History examination, counceling/anticipatory guidance / Risk Factor Reduction interventions and the ordering of lab/diagnostic procedures, Established Patients”. 99391 – 99397.
I think and feel justified to say that this holds good for all the Physicians, irrespective of Specialty or Superspecialty.
I hope it makes a real good sense.
Thank you
