Multiphasic screening

This code signifies a comprehensive health screening involving multiple diagnostic tests performed on an asymptomatic individual to detect potential diseases or health risks. It's a proactive approach to identify conditions early, often before symptoms manifest.

Use this code when a patient undergoes a battery of tests, such as blood work, urinalysis, EKG, and other general health assessments, as part of a routine preventative health check-up. This is typically for individuals without specific complaints or known conditions being investigated.

• Do not use this code for screenings focused on a single condition (e.g., mammogram for breast cancer).
• Ensure documentation clearly states the "multiphasic" nature of the screening, indicating multiple tests were performed.
• This code is for the reason for the encounter; separate codes for any abnormal findings or diagnoses identified during the screening should also be reported.
