Z02.8: Other examinations for administrative purposes

Z02.8 is a medical term from the World Health Organization (WHO) International Classification of Diseases (ICD) which refers to 'Other examinations for administrative purposes'. Essentially, this label is utilized when an individual has to undergo a physical check-up, examination, or assessment not linked directly to a specific illness, injury, or existing medical condition. Instead, these screenings often have administrative or procedural purposes as their guiding rationale. Such examinations could include routine health screenings for school or work, insurance health checks, licensing health evaluations, fitness for duty examinations, pre-employment health checks, and a broad variety of others. These assessments are given primarily to ensure that individuals meet particular health standards or to verify health status for administrative requirements. As part of these exams, a person may not show any symptoms, as the purpose is not predicated on the treatment of a present ailment.
