How does one credit multiple areas of somatic dysfunction in an audit? Is it based on each location or as one disease as a whole? For example, a patient has 7 regions of somatic dysfunction (the head, each area of the spine, etc.) and each region has a separate diagnosis code. The provider then decides to do OMT on each area (cpt 98928). If this is an established problem that's improving, do you give 1 pt under Number of diagnoses and management options or 7 when trying to determine the MDM?
