Hello!
Can anyone tell me the components that may make up the bullets for a Physiatry (and while we are at it.... Derm, Psychiatry, Neuro, Podiatry.... also) exam for an E/M code for an office visit? Obviously, it is not necessarily the same as a Primary Care visit, as it is a more focused specialty. I am finding it difficult to read 12+ points for a 99203. Is there anything different with specialty coding? I generally do Primary Care but occasionally have others I review.
Thanks so much!
