We were told that now, starting at a certain age, our doctors maybe required to complete a DMV (dept of Motor Vehicle) form on our pts with certain conditions. Example: Pt comes in for checkup (HTN, hyperlipidemia, renal insufficiency, headaches) AND DMV form completion (vision-an eye dr completed his part but there is a part for her family dr also). Our doctor addresses all of these problems plus completes this form. My office manager wants to know if this form completion is considered "incidental" to checkup and included under E&M code or should the E&M code be a "split visit"
Thanks!
