99201 is a CPT code. This code is for evaluation and management. Patient pays a visit to a doctor, evaluation of the problem is done and management is performed post evaluation. Since patient can visit for any problem (cough, chest, any sickness) therefore, this code has thousands of ICD-10 codes that may be allowed with the code.
