Annual Diabetic Foot Exam Regarding Non-LOPS Patients

Is there such thing as a diabetic yearly foot exam for a patient who does not have LOPS or any other lower extremity pathology?

There is no established CPT/HCPCS code for an annual diabetic foot exam if the patient does not have LOPS. In the event that a patient comes in for a visit, the encounter would need to be billed with an E&M code and routine foot care procedure codes, if performed.
