Wiki E/M and injections give by an MA

[ilovegary]

When leveling an office visit that includes an injection, does the fact that the nurse is giving the injection affect the level of medical decision making? The provider still has to make the decision for the injection.

It does not matter who actually performs the injection. That will not change the MDM. No one but the physician can make the decision that an injection is medically necessary.
