Patient had knee surgery 1 week prior to this post op visit. This does not appear to me to be a routine post op visit. Would like to know if this visit can be billed?
Dictated chart notes:
Patient Name
DOS: 00-00-00
IH: The patient comes in for a post op visit of left knee. He says he has really been
pushing it and doing a lot of work and walking. He thinks he has overdone it.
PE: On examination, he has no effusion. There is pain in the calf. He has mild
tenderness and minimal swelling. The knee has minimal swelling.
PLAN: I want to do a Venous Doppler to check for a DVT. I renewed Norco [pain RX]
and write an RX for Relafen. He will check back in the office in 1-2 weeks.
"Order written for Venous Doppler"
