Hello, everyone.
Does anyone think this would justify a 99213 with the new guidelines or would it only meet the requirements for a 99212? (Input is greatly appreciated!)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chief Complaint: Hip pain extends to knee following hip replacement
HPI: Medically Appropriate
EXAM: Medically Appropriate
DX: Aftercare following hip replacement (from 4 months ago)
Data Reviewed: In-house x-rays performed same day
COMPLETE PLAN:
"He is having pain in his hip. He has finished physical therapy. We will rest his hip. He will use a cane. We will reevaluate him in about 2 months. We he returns, we will obtain x-rays."
