HI,
I have a group of Transplant surgeons who brought up a point regarding MDM.
They want me to SHOW them in writing where CMS states that the "MDM" has to be one of the 3 components when choosing the level of service for an established patient.. I've looked and looked and cannot find anything in writing..
We all know that medical necessity is the overarching criterion for payment..
But these doctors are sticking to the 2 out 3 being History and Physical Exam, until SHOWN in WRITING Otherwise..
Your responses are greatly appreciated
