age limit for child exam icd coding
Answer: Youâre correct that you would typically use V20.2 (Health supervision of infant or child; routine infant or child health check) for a preventive medicine exam of a 17-year-old. In fact, the designation that appears in the ICD-9 manual next to V20.2 supports using the diagnosis code when the patientâs age is between 0 and 17 years.
