I see a preventive exam - he documents "pre-op PE for dental check-up scheduled 11/15/11. Wisdom teeth pulled last year. No concerns. Parents deny changes to PMHx."

If there's no complaint, then it's not problem-oriented, so HPI is irrelevant. (If there's no 'present illness', then there can't be any history of present illness). Although the patient does have chronic conditions that the provider manages, the reason for the encounter makes it clear that she's being seen specifically for pre-op clearance, and not as part of the routine management of her chronic problems.

I'd code this as 99395, with diagnosis code V72.83, but that's just me... ;)
