Other healthy infant or child receiving care

This code signifies a healthy infant or child who is receiving medical care for reasons other than a specific illness or injury. It typically applies to routine health maintenance, monitoring, or administrative encounters for a well patient.

This code is appropriate for situations such as a healthy child presenting for a school physical, a sports physical, or a camp physical where no specific health concerns are addressed. It can also be used for administrative visits for a healthy child, such as a medication refill for a stable chronic condition where the primary purpose of the visit is not management of an acute exacerbation.

• Always sequence this code as a secondary diagnosis when a primary reason for the encounter (e.g., a specific screening or administrative purpose) is present.
• Do not use this code if the child is presenting with any signs, symptoms, or confirmed diagnoses requiring active management.
• Consider using a more specific V-code for routine well-child examinations (e.g., V20.2) or other specific screenings when applicable.
