Hi Eadun,
I'm leaning towards billing this to 99203 but here is the progress note
![Frown :( :(](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)

But I think I just code this to 99202 since I have only ONE ROS and how about my PHY.EXAM does it qualifies for level two following the 1995 DG.
