PROBLEM COMPLEXITY (LOW)
-typically low since I keep visits to 1 stable chronic illness
DATA (3 points from category 1) (MODERATE)
-review of CBC and BMP (1pt)
-review of X-ray spine report everytime (1pt)
-review of MRI spine report everytime (1pt)
(I’m in a busy private group so MRI is usually always done)
-review of the same Xray/MRI counts everytime right? I do this out of good practice.
MANAGEMENT (MODERATE)
-RX management OR injection discussion at every visit
-injections count as "minor surgery" right?
This is my approach for all new patients (takes about 30 minutes from start to finish). Do you think it's fair to bill 99204 for this approach?
