The patient was seen with comprehensive Hx, a description of assessment and plan was described in detail. The provider says he spent 75% of the total time in C/CC. Time factor can be a key to coding in this scenario.
Now, the question is the provider has not entered any exam elements at all. According to him, considering the time factor, exam does not need to be there to code. I think the exam has to be there to come up with the assessment and plan. Any feedback? I looked up on CMS website, but could not find anything specific for this scenario.
