If a patient's PCP is referring him back to our office for re-evaluation of a problem treated by us more than 3 years ago, is that worth 2 points (est. problem worsening) or 4 points (new problem, additional workup planned) under # of diagnoses or treatment options in MDM? The patient would be considered "New" since it has been 3 years, but problem is not new to the provider. Thanks.
