We are a teaching Family Practice facility. Situation: Resident sees pt and documents the hisory, exam, MDM. The resident asks the preceptor to see the pt. Preceptor comes in and sees the pt. The preceptor adds a "preceptor note" stating they examined the pt, discussed the assessment, dx, plan with the resident and they agree with the residents plan. I know normally when the resident sees a pt, they can not charge anything higher than a level 3 office visit. But what happens when the preceptor (MD) sees the pt? Is the preceptor note listed above enough to charge a level 4 under the MD or do they have to create their own office note? Thanks
