E/m hpi
I am trying to brush up on my E/M coding and I have a question regarding chosing the level of history with F/U patients.
For example:
Pt came in with F/U on biopsy
all lab results listed
ROS is 2
PFSH is 3
No true HPI??? do you code the History as detalied??? (2 out of 3) Or do you pull the history form the ROS?
Please help I am a bit confused on this.
Thanks
re: E/M HPI
Can you tell us what exactly the history said? I'm not sure without seeing it in writing.
I assume this isn't in the global period for the biopsy.
For history, you do need all three components, so for a detailed history, you would need four HPI elements. Download an audit sheet from your Medicare contractors' website.
