Can a letter to the referring doc be used for E&M documentation?
I have a doc that when I asked for a copy of one of his e&m's sent me over a letter to the patient's referring doctor. When I asked if this was his only note, he told me it was.
Is this okay? It needs to be sent to the insurance to verify medical necessity on a surgical service...
thank you!
