Wiki E/M coding

[hanihosni]

When coding E/M visits based on MDM, when the provider documents "continue with symptom management" in the assessment/plan section of the note, can this phrase be given given credit as "prescription drug management" when determining the CPT code ?

Hi there, the statement doesn't indicate the drugs that are being managed or the medical decision making involved, so it would not count as Rx drug management

Hello, thank you for this information. I appreciate it.
