Since we got our new EHR, now all our Emergency Physicians include H&P elements to meet 99284 or 99285.
So, into the obscure aspects of Medical Decision Making.
In the Table of Risk, management options, management options selected is the phrase
"prescription drug management".
Does this mean merely that the patient received a prescription at that ER visit?
Since many of our patients receive prescriptions, this would indicate a moderate complexity, when combined with the fact that most ER patients are new to the examiner = 2 moderate levels for an overall moderate MDM score.
This means alot of 99294 physician E/M levels.
Is my understanding correct?
How are others dealing with this H&P inflation that seems to accompany EHR?
