Our MAC is Highmark, and they allow for systems reviewed in the HPI to be considered as part of the ROS. However, it is not clear to me if there must be a statement saying "ROS as in HPI".
Plus, the systems reviewed in the HPI, can this come from the patient's account of the presenting problem. See example below.
