I originally posted this in the Behavioral Health category with no help. Hopefully someone in the general discussion group has an answer...
I have an MD who does occassional second opinions on nursing home patients when there is a concern about the patients ability to make responsible medical decisions for themselves. There is a very limited ROS and Exam, mostly all psych eval. Since my doc is doing the second opinion, he is also reviewing the initial physicians records.
What code should I use? An initial nursing visit doesn't sound appropriate - but maybe?
HELP!
Thx,
