I'll start out by stating I work for some Doctors set in there way. These Doctors like to use pain w/o any descriptors as a bullet. Should pain alone be counted? Any advice would be appreciated. thanks for help
you should probably show the Dr the list of applicable HPI items in the E/M guidelines. pain itself isnt in the list, and therefore wouldn't get it's own bullet. or you could explain it as pain is included in the two bullets you have (location of pain, context of pain, etc.) does this help?![]()
