Hello fellow coders! Can you please share your opinions regarding calculating Medical Decision Making (MDM) level using the Marshfield Clinic Score sheet/Audit tool?
My question is specific to Table B – “Review and/or order of test in the medicine section of CPT (e.g. CPT 9xxxx series)”
Do you interpret the above to mean….
A) You could give 1 point when a physician reviews and/or orders an actual ‘test’ that is listed in the 9xxxx series (ex: EKG, EEG, EMG, Sleep medicine testing)?
B) You could give 1 point when a physician orders anything in the 9xxx series even if the physician orders something list in the 9xxx series that is not an actual ‘test’ (ex: hydration and infusion are both listed in the 9xxxx but these are not “tests”, also nebulizer treatment is listed in 9xxxx but this is a ‘treatment’ not a ‘test’)
Thanks! Ashley
