Does anyone know of a good resource with more clinical examples for the table of risk?
Medicare's table of risk is so generic and broad I would love to find something where someone has categorized some additional diagnoses & treatment options.
My doctors really want more guidance on the medical decision making component and its really difficult for me to help them b/c I am not a nurse & do not have a strong clinical background. They work trauma and what I might think is an acute complicated illness, they consider to be high complexity.
For example: pt comes in with 1st degree flash burns to face & mild respiratory distress. To me this is an acute complicated illness. My doctor says it is high risk b/c the patient is at high risk of developing esophageal burns during the first few hours after the injury and will require pulmonary toilet.
It makes it very difficult to audit their E/Ms. I just wish I could find some additional resources out there in addition to the table of risk.
