I am trying to distinguish between a Self-Limited or New Problem on the MDM score sheet under the Number of Diagnosis or Treatment options. If the provider sees a patient for sinusitis or OM and prescribes medication, is this a minor problem worth 1 point or would it be a new problem to examiner with no additional workup for 3 points? What types of conditions would be considered Self-Limited/minor vs. New?:confused:
