...quantitative calculation of cognitive status in a patient which may be used to screen for cognitive impairment, to approximate the severity of cognitive impairment, to follow the path of cognitive changes in an a patient over a span of time, and to document an individual's response to treatment.
Frequently used in psychiatric, neurologic, geriatric, and other medical populations.
In calculating an E/M, it appears that psych and/or neurological would be appropriate bullets.
Hope this helps
