Hi what i meant the tests that are not considered separately sherma, etc. not like oct, vfHi Laura!
If you can bill separately for the test then it will not count towards MDM.

Could you shed some light on the use of the word Stable as a status? I have a provider that is using this frequently and everything I have read with the new changes states that patient has to meet goal in order to use this word.I'm actually doing a 2 hour webinar this Wednesday, January 27, 6-8 PM EST titled: "Pick That Code: Understanding the 2021 E/M Code Changes" I'll be covering how to use the 99 codes plus going over questions like yours and will also be going through several typical office visit scenarios and coding them both with Time and MDM.

Yes, "stable" does mean the patient is at goal or controlled with the current treatment.Could you shed some light on the use of the word Stable as a status?

In general, with the changes in the 992xx E/M codes this year, they are easier to use and reimburse more than the 920xx codes. Therefore, I would use the 992xx codes.I am completely new to ophthalmology and needed some clarity when to use the 92002-92015 codes vs. 99202-99215. I am employed as a temporary contract employee. I've always done just E/M codes in the past for other fields. I'm having trouble deciding when I should use an eye code vs. the E/M. I've printed out several articles but it just seems to confuse me more. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you so much.In general, with the changes in the 992xx E/M codes this year, they are easier to use and reimburse more than the 920xx codes. Therefore, I would use the 992xx codes.
