For 2023 inpatient coding on MDM, the data section in category 3 is discussion with external physician/other qualified health care professional/appropriate source- does a nurse (RN) working on the patients floor count as a 'other qualified health care professional/appropriate source' (my provider does not work for the hospital and spends time in discussion with the nurse providing care for the patient on the floor. I am unable to find any documentation that a RN would count in this category- any help is much appreciated!
 
Hi there, a registered nurse doesn't fit either category (QHP or appropriate source).
