I would appreciate help on the following question. How do I code a history if the CC and ROS are documented, but the HPI is missing for a follow up/sick visit? Thank you.
Wow thank you. I do coding for a medical clinic in which there are several providers. So if the patient came in and one of our providers put the sutures in and came back to have them removed, even if another provider took them out we are not allowed to bill an E&M code?
Can I give you another example? CC - "This 22 year old female presents with WIC." HPI - "Here for a WIC appointment". I'm guessing this doesn't get an E&M either?
Thank you very much for your help.
Just came across another one: CC- "This 52 year old male presents with f/u labs." HPI - "came to discuss bloodwork". This patient was seen in the clininc for a well visit about two weeks prior. He had bloods drawn and is coming back now to discuss the results with the provider. Can this visit get its own E&M code?
