I just submitted a question on this issue and I Thank You for helping me, but now my doctor is stating her HPI can come from her CC. Once again I disagree. Please help. As you can tell I am having a issue. Thanks
The levels of E/M services are based on four types of history (Problem Focused, Expanded Problem Focused, Detailed, and Comprehensive). Each type of history includes some or all of the following elements:
• Chief complaint (CC);
• History of present illness (HPI);
• Review of systems (ROS); and
• Past, family and/or social history (PFSH).
The CC, ROS and PFSH may be listed as separate elements of history, or they may be included in the description of the history of the present illness.
