If an exam is part of an E&M component that must be obtained and documented by physician, can an MA or RN perform a diabetic foot exam?
The exam must be performed and documented by the provider (physician, NP, PA) for it to be considered part of the E&M leveling criteria.
An Medical Assistant is not eligible for "incident to" rules. The provider will have to complete their own foot exam and document the findings.
