Hi,
Would anyone know if Noridian JF will accept an extended HPI by combining multiple chief complaint elements?
Example: Chief complaint - Patient with headache and stomach pain
"Patient comes in with a headache (location) that has lasted for two weeks (duration). The patient is also experiencing stomach pain on a scale of 1-10 being an 8 (severity). Pepto (modifying factor) seems to calm this down.
I was told at one time that this was acceptable, but it has been a while since I have heard this and could not find anything in my research.
Any help will be appreciated.![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
