Coding blood work ordered in WWE

During a WWE on a 49 year old, blood work was ordered. Tests ordered were TSH, Lipid Panel, CBC and CMP. What ICD9 code should be used to have this blood work be considered preventative?

I use

V72.31, same as the pap smear. And I get paid. I guess you could link those labs to V70.0 but most (all) insurers recognize and pay V70.0 and V72.31 the same and consider it preventive care unless your patient is a man.
