I am very confused with how the levels come together if they sometimes do not line up exactly to meet a given level. How are these coded for New vs Established?

Also, when determining components of history, is it the best 2 of 3 (HPI, ROS,PFSH) for new and established for the overall level??

Thanks in advance for help!!
 
There is alot of great E&M information available on www.emuniversity.com. It sounds like you have quite a few questions about how to choose a level of service and on this website there is a Free section that have Audit sheets to help you correctly choose the level of service on a visit.

Determining E/M Level

I'm confused and hope someone can help me understand.

Clinical documentation for a new in office patient supports comprehensive history, detailed exam, and moderate complexity medical decision making. Am I right in billing 99203 or should it be 99204? Guidelines say for new patients 3 of 3 components are required for a level of service. I don't have 3 of 3. So do I go with the lowest of the three?
