Can anyone clairify for me what Medicare means by this statement? How do you use the co-morbids if you cannot come up with an extended HPI under 95 guidelines?
Per the Medicare 1995 documentation guidelines:
An extended HPI consists of four or more elements of the HPI.
!DG: The medical record should describe four or more elements of the present
illness (HPI) or associated comorbidities.
