Symptoms began abruptly when in November or December of last year. Kiara has improved a lot since starting counseling. The counselor said that Kiara's physical symptoms should be evaluated.

Patient's report on General Mood still likes to be alone in her room, doesn't like to be gone to much, passes up things that she used to like to do.. Anxiety symptoms: has anxiety at times - she worries and over-thinks things. Anxiety makes her pull back. School issues: started out strong, then started missing a lot. Grade 9. SLEEPING: sometimes can't sleep or wakes up at night and can't sleep for 30 to 60 minutes. Other concerns: Has lost 25 pounds in a 2 month period.

Vital Signs
Pain scale 0, Wt 106.2 lbs, Ht 62.01 in, BMI Percentile 39.52, BMI 19.42, BP 97/60, Temp 98.0, HR 109, L M P 7/2014, SaO2 97, Ht Percentile 23.13, Wt Percentile 27.4, VA-L 20/30, VA-R 20/30, VA-Both 20/30.

Examination
CC Pediatric Exam:
GENERAL APPEARANCE: well nourished, serious young woman with good eye contact, who is cooperative and pleasant, and appropriately groomed, but does have a sad expression most of the visit and has muted affect and a quiet voice. SKIN: no rashes, no skin lesions. HEAD: normocephalic. EYES: normal, sclera/conjunctiva clear. EARS: TMs: pearly gray, with good light reflection. NOSE: nares patent and clear, mucosa normal. ORAL CAVITY: moist mucous membranes, tonsils normal, pharynx without erythema or exudate. NECK: supple, no lymphadenopathy. HEART: RRR, no murmurs. LUNGS: clear, equal breath sounds bilaterally. ABDOMEN: soft, nontender, no masses. EXTREMITIES: moving all extremities equally. NEUROLOGIC EXAM: non-focal. OTHER Impressions from patient's drawing of a tree, house and person:, (provided by a volunteer psychologist who was provided only the patient's gender and age). Picture has a central house with a long, wide path coming from the door, which ends in a blackened circle. The house is flanked by a small tree in the background and a cloud. The cloud is blackened and there is a similar dark patch as the leaves of the tree. The picture suggests that she may have suffered trauma, perhaps even severe trauma or sexual abuse, and could be at risk of suicide. The picture conveys a lot of depression, and raises concern that she is at risk of dissociation, as she forgot to draw the person in the picture. As a coping strategy, she may become obsessive. (The obsessiveness shows in the trees canopy, which is made of dozens of tiny, interlocking concentric circles). There is no person in the picture, as stated above.

Face to face time with patient was 45-50 mintues. At that point, patient needed blood tests, and we wanted them to be drawn in time to go out with the evening pick-up, and it was ~5:10 or 5:15. I had a patient waiting who was a (quick) follow-up appointment. I told mother that we would draw patient's blood, and then I would come back in and discuss the screening forms and the plan. I returned ~ 5 minutes after the blood draw was completed (per my MA), but was told the patient's mother left immediately after the blood draw, stating that I could call her back, but she culdn't wait. She was here 1 hour 40 minutes total, with 45 minutes check-in time to being seen by me, 45-50 minutes face to face with me, and ~ 10 minutes for the blood draw.
 
Well no, it isn't a 99204. You don't have a complete review of systems, means you can't have a comprehensive history. The blurb at the bottom about time doesn't cut it, either. It's a bit confusing but all it gives us is the total face-to-face time. In order to select the level of service based on time, you must document the total length of the encounter, that greater than half of the time was spent counseling or coordinating care, and the content of the discussion. So I'd say 99203 based on what was documented.
