Patients' son came in for discussion with physician. (see Below) I have the HPI, NO physical exam, obviously, labs and scans reviewed and A/P. Can I bill the E/M w/o face to face visit with the patient? If so, I have an EPF/HPI, NO PE, H/MDM, would I drop the code to level 3 or level 4?
CHIEF COMPLAINT: The patient is a 78-year-old female with gastric cancer.
HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: The history of present illness is well characterized in my note of 01/24/2011. Her son came in. The patient herself is home.
