99213 - Rx management with a new medication for a new problem/complication.
Hx = 1 HPI, 1 ROS = expanded problem focused PE = I wouldn't use as there was no exam of the organ system referred in the Hx. MDM = new problem, Rx management moderate

Hey Michelle
if the body system with problem has been examined than you would have considered rest other for PE...??????? i consider PE .... cause provider is working toward the general health of the patient apart from the problem.... so for that he should get paid... and vaginitis is a self limited problem ... so MDM will go low ... but if we consider PE EPF and Hx EPF than we get 99213 taking MDM low..... ....... Please give some suggestion...
