I know prescription drug management is listed on the audit form for moderate complexity, but would it ever be used for low complexity? Example: Patient is being treated for scabies infestation, the patient returns with a complaint that it is not getting any better. Pt. indicates that her child also seems have it. The doctor gives another script for the same drug at the same strength but also prescribes enough for the child. This is the only problem addressed at this session. Would this be considered a chronic problem? Would the prescription for the medication be enough to make this a 99213? When I use the 95/97 audit form I get a 99212--low complexity. The audit form does not indicate prescription drug management, but only over the counter drug management.
