I am a CPC-H with 20 years of ASC coding experience. I have a friend who is newly certified and asked me an E&M question that I can't answer. Would someone help me out? I'll repay with surgery coding <grin> Her question is:
Valerie,
I am trying to find some kind of documentation that says that when choosing your history level for E/M that if all three elements are not met then do you go to the lowest level. I have found on CMS's website that states all three elements have to be met but it doesn't specify if all three elements are not met were you go from there. I hope that you understand what I am trying to say, I feel like I am talking in circles.
