In the Sept 08 coding edge there is a very good article on ROS. I tried emailing the author but the email must have changed. Anyway, in the article it states that ROS can be reviewed from a previous encounter and then documented reviewed ROS from date xx/xx/xx and it can be counted. My docs are want it in writting kinda guys and I can't find it on CMS or in the CPT.
Can anyone ( Belinda help) give me a heads up as to were this is documented? Thanks :confused:
 
In mine it is identical to the 95 in the same place and all. Use what you have in the 95 because the only difference between the 2 is the examination component.
 
!DG: A ROS and/or a PFSH obtained during an earlier encounter does not
need to be re-recorded if there is evidence that the physician reviewed
and updated the previous information. This may occur when a
physician updates his or her own record or in an institutional setting or
group practice where many physicians use a common record. The
review and update may be documented by:
• describing any new ROS and/or PFSH information or noting
there has been no change in the information; and
• noting the date and location of the earlier ROS and/or PFSH.

This is on page 6 of the 97 guidelines.
