guess that will depend on what type of HISTORY and MDM the doctor did - what's the documentation support? (an E/M and injection - just the injection?) was the patient coming in solely for an injection?
hard to say what it is with just a EPF exam...too many other things left unknown, too many variables, more info needed to determine an answer.
