Wiki Need help !!!!!!!!!! Established problem, stable or improved: 1 pt each????????

[NishaJ]

Hi Guys,
I need a clarification...
In MDM Table A , we could see this word, "Established problem, stable or improved: 1 pt each", whereas they didnot mention any limitations to count the points for Established problem, as we have maximum numbers for "Self-limited or Minor: 1 pt (maximum of 2)" & "New problem, no add’l workup planned: 3 pts (maximum 1 prob)".
Hence I understood, we can count any number of estd condns for this table right.
Please any one confirm, whether my understanding is correct or not...

Absolutely correct. As many established stable problems and/or worsening problems may be counted as are treated or are comorbidities impacting that visit's treatment.
