Good day everyone. I need help with better understanding of how to select proper E/M codes. I know the guidelines are in the CPT book but what my textbook states is somewhat a little different in the coding tips box. I guess I'm just confused.
One scenario was An outpatient office visit consult in which the physician performed a detailed history, comprehensive physical exam, and a MDM of moderate complexity. My teacher and the answer say 99243.
I thought it was 99244
