I have a compliance company that audit my docs and i am having some issue i need some back up.
For a visit I am coding it as a 99202 as the exam portion brings the level down because they are only documenting Constitutional, head/face, eyes, ears, nose/mouth/throat and neck/thyroid. The Hx is detailed and they are saying the exam is detailed and MDM is moderate. They are coding this as a 99203.
Any thoughts on this? It was my understanding that we are not allowed to mix body areas with organ systems?!
Also another problem i am having is they keep saying CMS wants 14 ROS for complete or a notation of 12,13 etc. are reviewed and all negative. can you provide any insite on this?
Thanks so much.
