I'm looking over Ch17 E&M of the CPC Study Guide and want to make sure that I'm understanding chapter quiz question #10 correctly.
The HPI states that they've had left knee pain for approximately one month. Later in the chart, it's diagnosed as OA.
Is the fact that it was diagnosed at some point why it's considered an acute injury (Low) rather than a new problem (Med/High)?
If this is the case, when do we use "New problem with/without addl work-up planned"?
Thanks.
