I know this question has been asked before, but I can't find a reference stating that each note needs to stand alone. This is for a subsequent consultation note/subsequent hospital care by a consulting physician (surgeon). He thinks that since he documented the diagnosis on his initial note, he doesn't need one on the subsequent notes for the same hospital stay. I looked in the Medicare claims processing manual for chapter 12, section 30.6 evaluation and management services but didn't find it: https://www.cms.gov/Regulations-and-Guidance/Guidance/Manuals/Downloads/clm104c12.pdf
Any help is appreciated!
