Amy, a 17-year-old teenager, presents for a medical examination so that she can be cleared to play in the state football team. Choose the correct ICD-10 code for this case.
  1. Z02.5
  2. Z02.3
  3. Z02.2
  4. Z02.1
Explanation
Answer: A 

Z02.5 is the correct code as it specifies “encounter for examination for participation in sport.” Here, Amy visited for a routine medical examination so that she can participate in the state-level football team. 

Option B is not correct because Z02.3 specifies the encounter for examination for recruitment to armed forces, which is not seen in this case. 

Option C is not correct because Z02.2 specifies the encounter for examination for admission to a residential institution, which is not seen in this case. 

Option D is not correct because Z02.1 specifies the encounter for pre-employment examination, which is not seen in this case.
