Would like some opinions and expertise if possible please. Not sure why I am questioning but I want to make sure I’m doing something correct.
If a patient comes in for:
Acute, uncomplicated injury = treats with ibuprofen 800mg (prescription med). Data/complexity (none)
Stable HTN/DM = treats with continue regimen and medication, no changes. Data/complexity (none)
Would this fall under 99213 because HTN/DM doesn't meet the 2 out the three elements. The only thing they are really treating with something is the uncomplicated injury, which doesn’t meet the 2 out of 3 elements.
