A 45 year old needs a basic life exam that includes height, weight, blood pressure, medical history, urinalysis and/or blood samples, and completion of necessary documentations/certificates. What is the correct evaluation and management code for this type of encounter?

99449
99450
99455
99456

Explanation

Answer: B - 99450 is the correct code for a basic life and/or disability examination.
Code 99449 is incorrect because this code refers to interprofessional telephone consultations. Codes 99455 and 99456 are both used for work related or medical disability examinations.
