We have a physician who sees patients in our clinic area and tends to roll parts of his ROS together. Can you only count the systems that he categorizes out?
For example:
REVIEW OF SYSTEMS:
CONSTITUTIONAL - no change in appetite, no fever
EYES - no double vision
ENT - no ringing in the ears
CVS - no chest pain, no shortness of breath
GI - no nausea or vomiting
ENDOCRINE - no dry skin
NEURO - no dizziness, no routine headache, no falls
PSYCH - no suicidal ideation/plan
MUSCULOSKELETAL - no tenderness
Can we use "no shortness of breath" from under CVS and count it as RESPIRATORY system as well?
Can we count "no dry skin" as INTEGUMENTARY system too?
He claims he should be getting full 10 system credit for what is provided above but we are trying to get him to list them out individually.
Any thoughts?
