NP sees patient, documents a detailed History, Mod MDM, no exam- not even vitals
there is no time noted, so can not code based on time. Since there was 0 exam done
would this be a 99214 or can it not be coded since there is not a single exam element
documented. Yes 2/3 required but even a problem focused exam requires at least 1
element and this has zero. Can it be coded?
THANKS!
 
Yes, if this is an established patient

Exam is not required for established visits. If this was a new patient I would bill it as an unlisted code, 99499.
