Will someone please review this chart note and let me know if we should bill a 99212 or 99213 and give me a breakdown of the rationale? Thanks!

Impression & Recommendations:

Problem # 1: SKIN LESION (ICD-709.9)
possibly ingrown hair or small cyst- reassurance given; call if grows or becomes bothersome
 
99213

History - I see 4 HPI elements (location, quality, duration, S/S), 3 ROS (Cardio for chest, ENT for eyelid, Resp for no SOB) and with no PFSH, this would be EPF.

Exam (Used 1995) - three systems (const, GU, musculoskeltal) - EPF

MDM - 1 problem point, not data points, low risk - SF

History and exam meet 99213.
