If I understand right can I bill a extended exam for this dictation?? I use the 95 quidlines. This gets so confusing the more you do !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Physical exam: The patient is a well-nourished male in no acute distress. Examination of the left knee demonstrates no effusion. Range of motion is normal. There is no erythema or ecchymosis. He is very sore to palpation over the patellar tendon. He is also sore with patellofemoral compression testing. There is no medial or lateral joint line tenderness. Tibial rotation testing is negative. Ligaments are stable.
Right knee demonstrates a similar physical exam findings with tenderness over the patellar tendon and pain with patellofemoral compression testing, although much less so than the left knee. Patellar alignment looks good on both knees.
Thanks so much for your time
