Hi Everyone!
Hoping someone can help give me clarification on Split or Shared E/M Services. I know that the provider with the higher MDM OR more than half of the time spent is who receives the "FS" modifier. My question is - if my provider only puts this statement "I made the patient's management plan, take responsibility for the patient management and have discussed treatment with APP today." in their attestation.... does that suffice? The APP has all of the documentation / MDM. There is some confusion on if just stating that they are taking responsibility, and creating the management plan is enough under these new 2024 "substantiate portion" guidelines. How would you code something like this? Would you give the credit to the Physician or the APP?
Thank you!
