Wiki MDM and Pulse OX

[jfrankel]

Hi everyone, does anyone know if you can add a point in the MDM section for "Review or order tests in the Medicine section of CPT" for a Pulse OX in an ER E&M record? Thanks

Yes, you can.

isnt that considered double dipping if you are picking up the 94760 - for the dr stating he interpreted it?

The guidelines indicate you receive one pt for ordering and/or 1 point for reading of the test. It does not give you more than 1 point total.
