A 14-year-old boy who is a new patient presents with acute contact dermatitis. During the expanded problem-focused history, the doctor learns that the boy just came back from a camping trip and was out in the woods when his skin began to itch. The examination was also expanded. The physician sends the patient home with a prescription and instructs him to return if the condition does not improve in a few days. While checking all of the patient's immunizations, the physician notes that the patient is in need of a tetanus vaccination, so that is also given. Select the appropriate CPT and ICD-10-CM codes.

The correct codes include 99202 for the new patient office visit, 90471 for the immunization administration, 90714 for the tetanus vaccination, L25.5 for contact dermatitis, and Z23 for the encounter for immunization. This combination accurately reflects the services provided: a new patient visit for acute contact dermatitis, administration of a tetanus vaccine, and the appropriate diagnoses for both the dermatitis and the immunization encounter.
