Can a nurse get this info or does it have to be done by dr? I need documentation of this. Can you please tell me where to find it for sure?

The provider must document the HPI. Do you get Part B News? In the 6/11/07 issue they address this. Also, there is something on the Noridian website that is official CMS policy. I don't have access to any links for you at this time, but you could do a search on these. Also check CMS.

Here is the link to Medicare's website & the '95 guidelines. Goto page 5, you may print it for your providers.

HPI must be documented by the physician. Ancillary staff may document the ROS and the PFSHx, however, the physician should document that they reviewed it, and that it was recorded by others.
Good Luck.
