Quick question: Does the provider need to document an independent historian provided the history of present illness to meet the criteria for independent historian? Example: "Mom is with patient and providing the HPI." I know it can be inferred if the patient is 8 months old but probably a good idea to provide documentation. Thank you!
 
per Novitas:

Documentation must support the reason the patient is unable to provide the complete or reliable history, and from whom the practitioner obtained the additional history.
