Does anyone know of any documentation anywhere that would state what would be required in order to get a comprehensive musculoskeletal exam using the 95 guidelines?
I have a Physiatrist who will never get a comprehensive exam using the 97 guidelines so this is a bit of a challenge. He does have a very large exam of all extremities, plus spine, neck, cardio, constitutional, neuro, psych, and skin. Normally I would fall to the 95 multisystem guidelines but there is not enough there for that either.
According to the auditing software we use it states that the Provider can have a written policy defining what a comprehensive exam to them means.
That just seems wrong to me so I was wanting something else to go on.
Thanks!
