Dr. Medevial sees Daphnee age 45, for her annual preventative exam. Since Daphnee is an established patient, Dr. Medevial wants a CBC. The CBC is drawn by the nurse, but due to equipment failure, the tube will be sent to MetCare Labs for processing. MetCare labs will be paid directly by Dr. Medevial for the processing.

The correct codes are 99396 for a preventive exam for an established patient over 40, 85025 for a complete blood count (CBC) without any modifiers as there's no indication for reduced services or unusual procedural services, 36415 for the blood draw since it's being sent out and not processed in-house, and Z00.0 for a general adult medical examination without abnormal findings.
