Wiki A provider is asking if they can count Blood Pressure to count as a unique test ordered for E&M leveling?

A pediatric patient came in for dizziness and the provider ordered a BP, sitting standing and laying down. Does this count towards a unique test for data points when choosing a level for the visit?

I would say no, as those elements are considered vital signs and are a part of the physical exam (constitutional).
