97 DG guideline confusion
General Multisystem Exam:
"Comprehensive Examination - should include at least nine organ systems or body areas. For each system/area selected, all elements of the examination identified by a bullet should be performed, unless specific directions limit the content of the examination. For each area/system, documentation of at least two elements identified by a bullet is expected." From Medicare Physician Guide
Here's my question.
This states each system selected performed all elements and for each area/system at least 2. So to qualify for a comprehensive exam, at least 9 systems/area must be documented, but how many bullet points - minimum of 2 bullets in 9 system/area, or all bullets in 9 system/area?![Confused :confused: :confused:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
