Hello all:
Our practice recently (last two months) has converted to EMR. With our conversion, I have been attempting to get my providers to stop documenting a comp exam for ALL patients. For example, patient arrives for test results for HTN, f/u visit for stress test, etc. Not all of my providers document a comp exam but a few are diehards and its easy to do now.
I have taken my concerns to my practice manager and received a request for documentation regarding exam levels. I have read and re-read 1995 and 1997 guidelines and have copies to present. However, does anyone have anything more specific to exam levels? I also have a copy of the CPT nature of presenting problems but it does not specifically state what I need.
Please help!
Thanks in advance,
