Our doctor want's to charge a 99214 for this visit. I'm curious if you can use the family history, social history, and personal history when it says just 'no changes' as he did below. Does that qualify or does he have to reference the date of the last time it didn't change. For example if it said Family history, no changes since 01/01/16 visit. I know it's supposed to reference something for the ROS, but I'm just not sure about the history.
