Hi, Can someone tell me, can you use the status of chronic conditions with a 95 DG exam?
I have heard both yes and no on this. Thank you.

In the Evaluation and Management Services guide on the Medicare Website, page 8, it states "at least 4 HPI elements or the status of at least 3 chronic", and doesn't specify 95 or 97 guidelines, but if you go into the specific guidelines the '3 chronic' is only in the 97 guidelines.

Thank you for your help. I will check with my carriers on this. I did already find out from my Medicare Carrier that they allow it.

Highmark also states that you can either use the HPI or status of conditions for either the 95 or 97 guidelines.
