I'm not unltra-familiar w/OBGYN, so please bear with my ignorance...
I'm trying to audit a chart for a post-partum problem E/M. The patient presented with acute mastitis. I've got an EPF History, Detailed Exam, and Moderate MDM documented. The provider had picked 99213 for the visit.
Is acute mastitis a severe enough problem to warrant a 99214?
If I could change anything about the CPT book, I'd put a LOT more clinical examples in it. Thanks for the input!
