Wiki E/M Personal History of Skin Cancer

[jfrost]

Our office is discussing E/M levels for patients with personal history of skin cancers. These patients are coming in annually/biannually and some are only seen for their history of skin cancer, is this considered a chronic condition? Our coders are back and forth with coding these as 99212 or 99213.
