Can I throw this out to the group. A young male presents to the Ed with complaint of abdominal pain. The MD documents an detailed history, detailed exam and complete PFSH. In the ROS there are no other symptoms such as n/v, diarrhea, fever. No tests are administered other than a bedside ultrasound, and lidocaine is given while in ED. The patient pain is minimized with the lidocaine, and the md prescribes Pepcid 10 mg twice a day for 10 days. What E/M code should be assigned for this visit?
