Although 99215 does sound high given the limited information you've provided, no coder can say definitively that a visit does not qualify just based on this - one really needs to evaluate the entire note to make the right code determination. I'd refer you back to the E&M coding requirements in CPT for your answer to this question. To bill a 99215, the provider must have documented 2 of the 3 elements of: a comprehensive history, a comprehensive exam, high-level MDM. High-level MDM in turn is defined as met by 2 of these 3 categories: extensive diagnosis/management options, extensive data, and high risk. Additionally, the visit may qualify for 99215 based on time, if properly documented. I'd point out too that although some coders and auditors have a practice of requiring MDM to be met in order to bill a certain level, this is not an official practice and is not mandated by either CPT or CMS official guidelines.
Although some providers inflate documentation for simple problems to meet higher levels than are warranted, that is a medical necessity question which is separate issue and does not change the basic coding guidelines. The code choice should be made based on code description and after an evaluation of the provider's note, looking at the work performed and the documented assessment of the patient. I'd add too, in response to the previous post, that it's simply not true that a 99215 requires a problem that is a threat to life - although the risk is one element in determining overall MDM, that measure by itself does not qualify or disqualify any given code level.
