NP visit with Expanded Problem Focused History, Comprehensive Exam, Low MDM. What CPT code would be correct? Or is documentation added? 99201-99205 need all 3 to match. This scenario only has 2 out of 3. Thanks
They do not need to match, you need all three documented. The lowest of the three components will determine the level. In your scenario with exp focused hx, comprehensive exam and low MDM for a New patient your lowest component is history so the visit level is 99202.
