Does anyone know if the CC can be documented by ancillary staff or does it need to be documented by the physician? If so, where can I find this in writing to show my physician? I can't find this in the 95 or 97 DGs.

I saw that too but I am specifically looking for something regarding the CC. One of my NPs argued with me that a CC is not required for an E/M LOS. I want to show her somehwere it says that a valid CC is required for every LOS and who can document the CC.

but I love it when government guidelines state "in certain circumstances" but are vague. So it gives them latitude if our "certain circumstances" don't jive with THEIR "certain circumstances."
