So I have mixed thoughts on the MDM area for what can qualify as drug therapy requiring monitoring. I know the guidelines of what drugs qualify, however what about patients that are on radiation therapy or chemotherapy and we are continuing the same treatment with no changes. Does this still qualify towards the MDM of that day of service since we aren't making any changes. To me, it sounds straightforward since no new decisions are being made and the therapy itself already includes follow up of the drug. One webinar stated that any ongoing treatments and/or medications can not be counted towards the day of the encounter if no changes or new discussions about it are being made. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? All examples that I am finding have to do with new start meds or change in dosage, etc. None apply to continuing same plan and treatments.
