We have MDs in an Emergency Department not specifying they personally interpreted X-ray/EKG results in their charts. A few of the coders believe as long as the X-ray/EKG results statement differs from the formal interpretation done by the cardiologist or radiologist qualifies as an interpretation done by the ED MD. I think that the MD needs to specifically state they interpreted the EKG/X-ray in order to count towards Category 2 in the new 2023 ED E/M. Does anyone have any info they can direct me to on this subject? Opinions?
