Does anyone have any clarification on the new 2021 E/M Guidelines when it comes to Element #3? I am having trouble being able to choose between minimal risk and low risk for a patient because they do not have specific bullet options in those two categories to pick from. For example, if a provider is referring a patient out to a hand specialist, does this qualify as a minimal or low risk patient for Element #3? He referred and also did a history on that patient's issue; therefore, there is a problem addressed but the provider is not doing anything for the patient other than referring them out. If you have any clarification, please attach resources that you found your information from. Anything helps!
