Hello,
Question: I was trained with the fact that MDM SHOULD be one of the 2 elements in the leveling of an established visit. I know there is no specific guideline stating this but I was wondering if anyone can give some insight on this.
Are there any articles out there someone can suggest?
I believe it is best practice to make the MDM one of the key elements but others do not.
They can meet the medical requirements for a detailed hx and exam but the MDM sometimes is PF or Low. So if for a viral infection they are not giving meds but ordering labs and rest its possibly being billed 99214. You can get a detailed HX in a 4 minutes conversation, I feel a level four is a bit much, any/all opinions welcomed.
Thanks
