I have a question about E&M level selection. I have a provider billing lots of claims with a DX like acute bronchitis with no documented complications and then codes the exposure to Covid DX Z20.822. The acute uncomplicated code falls into “low” but what about the possible exposure? It seems like the 2 together still fall into low for the DX criteria because the “moderate” descriptions don’t seem to fit. And would a negative or positive Covid test have any bearing on E&M level?
