I work for a General/Vascular Surgery practice. Two of the surgeons are questioning how they can meet the required elements for HPI when the pt has an asymptomatic breast lesion or carotids, or when a cancer pt comes in for consult to have a port placed for chemo.
Does anyone have any tips I could give them to meet the number of elements required to bill anything higher than a level 2? Or could direct me to a resource that can help me educate them as to what they should be including in their dictation to meet the elements??
Thanks!
