Can the CC be counted when scoring HPI points?
Ex.
CC: Abdominal Pain
HPI: Patient presents with abdominal pain for the last week. etc. etc. etc.
I would normally use the abdominal pain for location and quality. I have a co-worker that has interpreted something that she has read to say that you cannot count it because it was stated in the CC. I have never heard of anything like this??
Any input is greatly appreciated. I am worried she is really underscoring her providers HPI because of this.
I posed this question to the presenter for this week's webinar and she did not understand and just answered back about who can document CC... not what I was asking![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
