My question: Re: MDM for Decision regarding elective major surgery or minor surgery with risk factors:
When an ENT surgeon has multiple conversations about a surgery with a patient including discussing risk factors for a minor surgery, how many times can this be counted towards moderate level decision making? (in the case when he discusses surgery and patient opts out or considers it, and then patient comes back months or a year later and is advised on same surgery again by same MD for same dx? Assuming the patient's risk factors haven't changed?
