The code for a diagnostic physical exam typically falls under the Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes, specifically within the range for Evaluation and Management (E/M) services. For instance, a comprehensive physical exam might be coded as 99203 to 99205 for new patients or 99213 to 99215 for established patients, depending on the complexity of the visit. It's important to select the appropriate code based on the specific elements of the exam and the patient's history. Always refer to the latest CPT guidelines for accurate coding.
