Please let me know how many diagnosis management points you would assign????????
Scenario:
An established patient to a single-specialty practice comes in for a second office visit to be seen for the same illness he was seen for 1 week ago by Dr. Smith. However, this time he is seeing Dr. Jones.
Question:
Is Dr. Jones credited 3 or 4 diagnosis management points since it is technically a "new problem to the examiner", or, is Dr. Jones credited 1 or 2 points since it is an "established problem to the practice?"
If anyone can provide a link to anywhere that Mediare gives specific instructions that would be VERY helpful. Thanks!
