Can anyone tell me if documentation exists that medical decision making on pediatric ER patients can be higher even though the CMS medical decision making points system does not calculate a high level. For Example a provider sees a URI and does not provide RX management yet they feel they should be able to bill a level three with no lab, xray, consult or other work up being done. My experience tells me this is a level 2 :eek:
 
No difference in Pediatric patients

There is no different standard for pediatric patients ... though we sometimes wish there were ...
