Have any of you heard that in July 1, 2017 exam elements are changing from 2-7 elements for Expanded problem-focused and Detailed,
or 2-4 elements for Expanded problem-focused and 5-7 for detailed to:
2-5 elements for expanded problem focused and 6-7 for detailed?
That means exam level may change from 4 to 3 if only 5 elements are used
By elements I mean a body/organ system with at least 2 points per area on body.
According to Medicare, now at least 6 body/organ systems will be necessary for a level 4 (detailed) exam
Is this right?
Are there any updated E and M audit worksheets out there to reflect new exam requirements?
thanks
