In simple words: This code is used when you have a medical exam because you need it for your driver's license.

This code is used for encounters with healthcare professionals for a medical examination specifically required to obtain or renew a driving license.

Example 1: A 65-year-old individual requires a medical examination to renew their commercial driver's license. They visit their physician, who performs the required examination and completes the necessary medical certification. The physician uses Z02.4 as the diagnosis code., An individual with epilepsy needs a medical evaluation to determine fitness to drive. Their neurologist conducts a thorough assessment and provides documentation to the licensing authority. The neurologist bills using Z02.4., A person with diabetes applies for a driver's license and is required to undergo a medical exam to assess their ability to operate a vehicle safely. Their primary care physician performs the examination, documents the diabetic condition, and reports Z02.4 as the reason for the encounter.

The medical record should document the findings of the examination, any relevant medical history impacting driving ability, and the completion of the required medical forms for the licensing authority.

** This code is used specifically for examinations related to driving licenses.If the encounter is for a different type of administrative examination (e.g., pre-employment, school admission), a different Z code should be used.
