The Documentation Guidelines don't provide a lot of detail. You can download them and read them for yourself. They are posted on Codapedia, so just search Documentation Guidelines. They are attached to the article called, Documentation Guidelines.
For data points: For lab, one point is given for reviewing or ordering one or 100 labs. If the MD personally reviews the image or tracing that someone else has or will interpret, then assign 2 points.
For the number of diagnosis addressed The additional workup relates to whether you give the MD 3 or 4 points for number of diagnosis addressed, the MD gets 3 points for new problem, 4 for new problem with work up planned.
Your question is a bit confusing. Can you clarify which part of MDM you are discussing?
