CDT 9987 reports a cancelled appointment. The CDT description does not indicate whether or not the procedure has been cancelled by the provider or patient. If you are not using the code to charge a fee for cancelled appointments, then it would be appropriate. Of course the notes should show why the appointment was cancelled. We have also used D9430.
