G9225 - Documentation that a foot examination was not performed, with no reason provided
Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System
What is a HCPCS Code?
HCPCS (Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System) codes are used to identify medical procedures, supplies, and services for billing purposes. These codes help standardize how healthcare services are reported and billed across different providers and insurance companies.
Detailed Description
This code is used by healthcare providers to document that a foot examination was not completed during a patient visit, and no specific reason was given for why the examination was omitted. This is primarily an administrative code used for medical record keeping and quality reporting purposes.
Additional Information
This is a documentation code rather than a billable service. It indicates an omission of care rather than a performed service. Patients would not typically see this code on bills, as it represents something that was not done rather than a service provided.
