I have a provider who only doing a single organ system exam based upon the patient's medical necessity:
Here are the following elements he reviews for the patient
Palpation of heart
Ausculation
Meaurement of blood pressure in the aortic and vertbral artery
Examines
Pedal Pulses
Femoral
Carotid
Abdominal
peripheral edema
He will take vitals always and if necessary may check eyes or listen to lungs.
Some people in my group would only give him a detailed exam, but I feel that it meets the single organ system requirments since he does this all of the time and based upon the type of patient that he is seeing.
Has anyone else coding for a single system exam this way?
Thanks
