Question for everyone.
New patients that do not have a family history listed, are we able to count a PFSH for this patient? We have one physician who will list past history and social history, but not family history.
We are having a discussion that include:
It's not necessary to have all 3 history areas and still get a pertinent PFSH or is it necessary to have all 3 history areas and cannot charge a visit if all aren't there.
Also, this same physician has the patient fill out a history sheet, but does not refer to it in his office notes at all. Can we count the history sheet? I'm saying not, because he doesn't refer to it and it's not signed by him.
Thoughts anyone? Please?
