Parent/Patient Understands Information.
-pt advised to go to ED or urgent care asap
 
There is no medical decision making, as I assume that will happen in the ER or acute care. There needs to be something data review/ordering, RX, decision for major surgery, something to be a 99214.

The MDM was the decision to send the patient to the urgent care/ER. High risk of morbidity for chest pain that requires additional diagnostic testing or treatment, so go to the ER.
 
Good point. I was told no points for referring out though and it is a video visit. I see where you are coming from though.
