Med management has many choices...no medication, same medication, change medication, entirely new medication. If you can ascertain any of this from the note, then you've met the medication management criteria. In this case above, the provider indicates no symptoms (that might be related to medication dosage), and there were discussions with regards to risks and benefits of medication as well as the patient's concerns with cost..... all decisions for the provider as to whether to continue or change.

thank you- we have an outside auditor that didn't count this towards med management and I was confused.
