pre op appointment

What CPT code is used for a pre op appointment from a pediatrician?

Is it for medical clearance?

If the patient was referred from the surgeon back to the primary doc for medical evaluation prior to surgery then use the outpatient consultation codes 99241-5. Be sure the note says "referred by Dr X for pre-op eval" and "copy to Dr X of this report". If the patient was not referred but the parent made the appt on their own or at your request, then it is a standard office visit.
