Fellow Coding Professionals,
One of the auditors I work with indicated that if we can not find enough HPI elements in the HPI portion of the note, but find it elsewhere (e.g the duration of the illness is found in the MDM) that it can be counted in the HPI. This is because we as coders must give as much credit to the provider as possible. Has anyone else heard this and if so, would you happen to have a resource?
Thank you,
Diana
