Plan:

ortho f/u

surgical f/u

Call/Return if worse or not better in:

RTO if worse sxs, new sxs or not improving.

Patient came in for his skin issues but then dr referred him to f/u on 2 other issues that were previously addressed that patient never saw specialist for. I believe this is a 99212. Dr wants to charge a 99214. any thoughts?? thanks :)
 
Based on the documentation above and 95 guidelines......I would code this report as a 99213. The HPI is lacking so you would need to pull something for ROS, making the History, expanded prob focused,
the Exam is expanded problem focused and the MDM is moderate..........you need 2 out of three so I would code this as a 99213.

Let me know if you agree,

99213

I agree with Mary Lou. 99213. You have expanded problem focused history, and an expanded problem focused exam.

Hope that helps.
