I have a pain management provider that receives a referral from external provider. He reviews external referral as well as the State Board of Pharmacy PMP that his office prints out. Can he receive credit for reviewing the PMP or does that count for medical history review/medication review? Can this be considered a external note?
 
Per the AAFP website FAQs on 2021 E/M Guidelines they stated the following:

"External" means records, communications and/or test results from an external physician or QHP, or external facility or health care organization. An external physician or QHP is an individual who is not in the same group practice as you, or is in a different specialty or subspecialty. This is similar to the rules defining who qualifies as a "new patient."
