Our primary care has made standing orders for some patient labs, i.e., diabetic follow-up. There is confusion about the data elements for E/M visits to review the lab done on standing orders and create a plan going forward. Can the data point be counted as a review of results at the office visit for follow-up after labs were done based on the standing order? I feel this is double dipping as the standing order was created at an E/M visit, but I have been told it is not. Can anyone clarify and point me toward a clear definition of standing orders and using them as data elements for MDM? Thank you!
