I am normally a HCC coder for Risk Adjustment. I was asked to help out on a case where I would need to look at E&M codes and it has been a hot second since I have done anything with CPT codes.

The charts are Medicare, so as you can imagine, most have 2+ chronic diagnoses addressed on each visit. Is it really as easy as adding a prescription for a new med or a medication adjustment to make this visit fall under 99214? I feel like I am interpreting something wrong here and just needed some clarification or validation that I am interpreting this correctly.

Thank you for your help.
