About ICD-9-CM V70.5
V70.5 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for health examination of defined subpopulations. ICD-9-CM was retired for U.S. claims on October 1, 2015, when ICD-10-CM took over.
The CMS General Equivalence Mappings translate it to 3 ICD-10-CM codes, such as Z02.1 (Encounter for pre-employment examination), Z02.3 (Encounter for examination for recruitment to armed forces) and Z02.89 (Encounter for other administrative examinations). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
