I code for a family health clinic and we obviously see a lot of viral URI being picked by the providers. How are you coding this type of visit when no Rx is given. I feel the URI is 1 self-limited or minor problem... Providers are picking 99213 with no data and we will see this statement a lot. ( Hydration, rest, Tylenol/ibuprofen, vitamin C, lozenges, humidification.)
I would work this up as a 99212 for Dx addressed, Data None 99212 and OTC drugs Tylenol/ibuprofen 99213.
That gives me a 99212.
Thanks for all comments!
