This is from 2015 Official guide, but would be the same for 2017 guide.

Chapter 17 E/M, Table g,

History: Detailed
Exam: Expanded problem focused
MDM: Straightforward

It shows two of three components should match to make level.


But, only one, "Exam: Expanded problem focused" matches 99213.

What is the other component matching 99213?

Any idea?

Thank you!
 
"Meets or exceeds" is the key

Detailed and comprehensive exceeds Expanded Problem Focused for History and Exam

From Lowest to highest

Problem Focused > Expanded Problem Focused > Detailed > Comprehensive
