I have a physician's assistant doing the office visit, and documenting as such. There is a comment in the documentation that says "the patient was seen today by the physician assistant. The patient's chart, hpi, current meds, lab values, and pertinent clinical exam were reviewed by Dr. X. The treatment plan was discussed in detail with Dr. X and he was involved in all aspects of this patient's care." My question is, does this qualify for credit in the medical decision making under "review and summarization of old records and/or obtaining history from someone other than patient and/or discussion of case with another health care provider." ????? Since the PA and MD are in the same practice they are considered one provider, so this would not apply, correct?????
