We often see that a patient comes in for a lab follow-up and the provider dx'd the patient with a new problem. I am trying to figure out how to categorize this in the MDM as it doesn't fall under any of the definitions for number of complexity of problems addressed.
Example:
Patient had labs drawn and came back in to review. After reviewing, practitioner dx'd the patient with Hyperlipidemia & Hyperthyroidism when patient does not have any history of this. Practitioner is going to monitor and recheck lab levels in 1 month. How do I categorize those problems?
Thanks!
