Can we use the entire office note to find HPI and ROS as long as we do not double dip?
For the 95 guidelines there are organ systems and body areas. If we do a full body exam which is listed out as each body part examined could we use all 10 body areas and that be a comprehensive exam? I see that it says 1 body area or organ system, 2-7 body systems, 8 or more body systems. Do you have to use the organ systems or do you have to use the organ systems with the body areas or can you just use the body areas? With the 97 guidelines it's hard for us to get a comprehensive exam so we are wondering if it may be easier to use the 95 guidelines.
If we have 10 body areas listed as examined (skin exam for dermatology) can we use that as a comprehensive exam using the 95 guidelines?
