I have at least one provider that insists that prescribing narcotics, or other high risk medications, is a reason for a High Risk visit. (99215). Can someone tell me if there is further documentation to support this? So far, I am finding nothing because these are not necessarily being monitored for toxicity. I have one patient who he prescribes Oxycodone, Diazepam and Kadian. He states each of these is high risk medication "as there is increased potential for adverse reaction in some groups." I need to meet with this doctor, next week and I would like to be well informed and well prepared.
