I was wondering if anyone could help me out with this. I am coding for a Gastro office where the majority of exams look the exact same. They are generated by an EMR and look like the following:
WT: 190lbs. General: The patient is awake, alert, and oriented x3, in no apparent distress. HEENT: Pupils are equal, round, and reactive to light. Extraocular muscles are intact. No lymphadenopathy. No pallor or icterus. NECK: Supple, no neck or thyroid mass. No JVD. HEART: Regular rate and rhythm. No murmur, gallop, or rub. CHEST: Clear to auscultation bilaterally. No rales, rhonchi, or wheezes. ABD: Soft, nontender, and nondistended. No hepatosplenomegal. Good bowel sounds in all quadrants. EXTREMITIES: No clubbing, cyanosis, or edema
I am seeing that they reviewed 8 systems which would qualify for a comprehensive exam, but I don't feel that this is a comprehensive review. I really feel that it is an expanded problem focused exam since they are not reviewing anything in detail. Any opinions are appreciated. Thanks
