Does anyone know if vitals are required to be recorded to bill a level IV new pt or consultation visit. This is for an orthopedic practice.

Wiki Level IV requirements of vitals

They aren't required if you are meeting the exam level in other areas using the 95 or 97 guidelines for the level of service you are billing. There aren't any exam portion - body or organ systems - that are required. It should just be an exam that is medically necessary for the presenting problem.
