When a patient is unarousable, and cranial nerves are documented as "not examined; unarousable" do you count these towards the level of examination using CMS 1997 neurology guidelines?
We have instruction from CMS addressing a ROS that is unobtainable, but I have found no guidance for the same situation with the physical exam.
Thoughts and comments are appreciated and thanks,
