CPT 99385 & V70.0: Can Preventive Medicine Diagnoses Be Added?

No, you cannot add an additional preventive medicine diagnosis code to CPT code 99385 when the primary diagnosis is V70.0. CPT code 99385 is used to report visits for the evaluation and management of an established patient, that typically lasts 15 minutes. The V70.0 diagnosis code is used to report a preventive care visit for an adult. Preventive medicine diagnosis codes are not typically reported in addition to other diagnosis codes on the same claim, as they are considered to be part of the overall preventive care visit.
