Wiki Unremarkable

[adweaver]

Will the word "unremarkable" count towards an area for the exam?

Example-

Head- unremarkable
Eyes- unremarkable
Ears- small lesion on outer area

1995 vs 1997 guidelines

Depends on whether you are using 1995 or 1997 guidelines.

For 1997 guidelines you have to specify the bullets, so this kind of general statement will not count.

For 1995 guidelines, you can document "normal" for a given system or body area if there are no specific findings.

Hope that helps.

Hi Ms. Bartels,

Would this apply to all Medicare intermediaries? I work with Noridian, Palmetto JD1 and Trailblazers.

Thank you
