Hi,
In auditing some medical records I have some doctors writing 45min or 80min spent with pt., of course to obtain the highes level E/M based on "TIME".. is it written anywhere (CMS, FSCO..ect) that the start time and end time has to be in the chart? I know it has to be written for prolonged services codes 99354-99358.
