I feel I need some help regarding whether to give points for conditions listed in the assessment and plan that seem to not be related to the presenting problem. For example: Chief complaint is cough and the A/P has 1. Cough. 2. Diabetes 3. Hypertension. I see this frequently and many times they are adjusting medications and ordering labs and monitoring chronic conditions. Can any points be given for these additional conditions even though they are not listed in the A/P?
