New Medicare patient CDL physical

A new patient with Medicare scheduled a CDL physical at our office. Doctor coded a 99387, but that would mean patient responsibility. (he didn't know) Which CPT® may we use to get decent reimbursement from Medicare? (Welcome to Medicare or annual wellness wouldn't be applicable for this man)

Any answers?

re: New Medicare patient CDL physical

Did you look at 99455 with diagnosis V70.5. This code has restricted coverage from Medicare

re: New Medicare patient CDL physical

CDL physicals should not be billed with preventive medicine codes. These are services that are not covered by insurance companies: they are work related, and should be billed to the patient or employer.

I agree with Nancy's code selection.
