Have a question regarding Lab ordered and/or reviewed vs. Review and summary of old records (This is for a specialty physician sending dictated letter to PCP)
How far back can you consider "old records?" I have patients that have had labs done just a few months ago and when the physician reviews them, I don't know if I should use lab reviewed vs. review old records. Sometimes if the patient is coming in frequent for another reason the physician will review the labs again in his note that is sent to the PCP. Do I give another "point?"
Thank You
