If a patient see the physician for the first time (new patient, new problem), and the physician schedules surgery for that patient next week. Under Table A, can you count 4 points for New Problem with Additional Work Up? Table A = the number of possible diangoses and/or the number of management options that must be considered. Wouldn't surgery be counted as a managment option? I am having a problem finding this scenario documented anywhere.
The 95 guidelines for Number of Diagnoses or Management Options state:
DG: The initiation of, or changes in, treatment should be documented. Treatement includes a wide range of management options including patient instructions, nursing instructions, therapies, and medications.
