Example: Patient is dx with lung ca, and the physician notes in the dictation that the patient will be set up for chemo next week.
Do I give credit under drug management options? "drug therapy requiring intensive monitoring for toxicity"?
I have not been giving credit for this due to when the patient comes back in they will more than likely see the physician before tx, thus you have another office visit and would give credit that day for the chemo.
It seems it would be counting for something 2x as high. What if patient did not come back in the next week for chemo and you have already have credit for this?

There is a lot of debate about this were I work and I am just looking for some clarification.
Thanks!
