I have a report on a patient for a consult/E M, but the patient is in a coma. The neurosurgeon visited the patient three times that day, but did not document the total time spent. The question is that the surgeon cannot get any type of history or review of systems from the patient and there was no family available. There was no way possible to get a valid neuro exam. The patient was declared brain dead the next morning. How would anyone code this type of visit?
