I would count this as 3 elements of HPI (location, duration and context) or 4 if you count 'too much' as severity. But there is no review of systems, so I'd consider it a problem-focused history. Some auditors count NKDA as a ROS point, in which case that would support calling this an expanded history. Either way, if it's to be coded as 99214, that means you'd need a detailed exam and moderate MDM.
 
We edited the original post to exclude the private information shared. This is very concerning to us. Please ensure this does not happen in the future or we will be forced to dismiss you from AAPC forums. Thank you.
