CPT Knowledgebase - Sep 1, 2006

I would like clarification of the Preventive Medicine Services codes. Would it be appropriate to use these codes to report routine scheduled follow-up care, or visits requested by the physician, one or more years following the removal of a tumor, when there are no patient complaints and no evidence of recurrence? If so, is there a recommended time period following the successful treatment of the cancer in which the scheduled follow-up visits would be considered routine?
