ER/Clinic E&M level

When is it acceptable to not charge an E&M level in the ER/Clinic? I would think when a pt comes in for flu shot with the nurse only, drop off specimen or was called to return to the ER??? Help??

re: ER/Clinic E&M level

I'm a little confused by the question because I tend to think of it in the reverse. When is it acceptable to charge an E/M service (and what code) based on what happened and what was documented. The examples you provided seem like areas where documentation would not support an E/M service, though a call back to the E/R might depending on the circumstance.
