Oh boy – here goes: Providers A and B are Family Medicine providers in the same group practice.
Scenario: Provider A see’s (regular) established patient for a headache. Two weeks later Provider B see’s same patient for headache.
In box A of MDM, is this problem new or established to provider B.
Really interested in hearing from any auditors (and coders) on this. It’s a topic that recently became a pretty big discussion. (I shook my head and said DUH…that didn’t quite cut it)
It’s nowhere to be found on CMS so any references would also be awesome. Thanks in advance.
