For an office visit or new patient visit before a colonoscopy, you typically use the Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) code 99201-99205, depending on the complexity of the visit, with 99203 or 99204 being common choices for moderate complexity. Additionally, you may also consider using the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) code that corresponds to the patient's reason for the visit, such as Z12.11 for screening for malignant neoplasm of the colon. Always check current coding guidelines and payer requirements for accuracy.
