Patient came in for leg pain been going on for about two weeks. History of rheumatoid. Pain is getting worse. Provider treatment plan 1. arthritis of right knee w/rx 2. Essential HTN-stable 3. prediabetes-stable. Total time spent 30 mins. This provider using time for every encounter always 30 mins. If pt came in for acute prob and rx was given no labs were done to determine if the HTN and prediabetes were stable. Should I use provider time or based it on MDM which would be 99213 for the arthritis of right knee and rx management
