Hello,
It's been a while since I've been on here and I need a refresher on this. A physician of mine has not seen his patient in over three years, thus making this patient now a "new patient". The physician in his note documents in the PFSH section that "reviewed and unchanged from Jan 12, 2013. Could I count this when calculating his E/M or would a new history had to be obtained because the patient is now in new patient status?
Much appreciated!
