PFSH; Past medical and past surgical history
Is it acceptable for the MD to state "Otherwise Negative " or "Unremarkable" in the past surgical and medical history? Would it qualify as PFSH? If not is there documentation that states this? My MAC is Novartis formerly Highmark Medicare.

I'm not sure what Highmark requires but here's a link that may lead you to the answer you seek as this was discussed awhile ago.

a simple addendum:
Consider typing "unremarkable" or non-contributory in the search function box and it will pull up numerous responses relating to your issue. ---Suzanne

Novartis is my MAC and I know that they will only allow non-contributory for the family history and the family history only. However, we have our doctors make a comment about what they asked (i.e. no family history of cancer) rather than using non-contributory as some insurances do not accept this. As far as for the Social and Past history - something needs to be documented for these, such as no surgeries, no medications, etc. for past history and does not smoke, lives with family, etc. for social.
Hope this helps!
