Fellow auditor and I had this discusssion on a chart I am auditing - who's right?
For abd pain, doctor prescribed ibuprofen and wrote patient a script because she needed it to use her flex spending plan for the medication. Because he wrote a script, my co-worker believes this is prescription drug management resulting in a moderate level of MDM. I say this is low level because ibuprofen is available OTC. Whatever the result of this will determine the MDM for this particular chart because the data is limited and the number of diagnoses is multiple.
Thanks for your help in advance!
