Main Diagnosis

-1. ICD Z00.00- Annual checkup with no abnormal findings.

identifying any health disorders to facilitate early medications and management (CDC,2020).

Preventative Service Task Recommended Screenings:

2. PSA screening-ICD 10 –CM Z12.5. This is essential for screening for malignant cancers of the

prostate.PSA screening is vital in all men above 50 years because of the risk of developing

prostate cancer (Catalona,2018). The patient is at risk of prostate cancer or BPH because of his

old age and a positive family history of BPH.

3. Update for immunization-ICD-10-CM-Z23-which is the encounter for immunization.CDC
