What is the difference between a limited vs and extended Exam? I've looked everywhere and everything is very vague. They both require 2-7 BA/OS. Please help.
Hi,
I agree the vague difference of the EPF vs Detailed physical examination which involves 2-7 BA/OS.
I found some verbal instructions of CMS regarding numerical requirements of physical examinations (1995 guidelines). i.e
Problem Focused---------------1 body area or organ system
Expanded problem focused------2-4 body areas or organ systems
Detailed----------------------- 5-7 body areas or organ systems
Comprehensive-----------------8 or more organ systems
I am sure you know the numerical bullet systems in 1997 guidelines which are more specific.
I guess this link will be useful for more information
