Wiki 2020 Documentation Requirements

[akalyssarae]

I am attempting to find resources for our providers to what documentation requirements are being required for E/M coding. There was a webinar last year they viewed which stated that it was ok to notate 'reviewed information given on 'DATE' reports no changes.' however during the Seattle conference it was repeated that each note needs to stand alone rather than refer to past visits. Does anyone know where I can find this in writing? The new codes leave a lot of room for lacking documentation especially for our type of patient encounters.

Also, is there any resource going more in depth to what 'medically appropriate history and exam' standards are?

Thank you!!
