FQHC Dual encounters, what constitutes “significant additional work”
When working pediatric notes, as an FQHC we are allowed to bill for a dual visit "whenever a problem or abnormality (i.e., exercise-induced asthma, migraine headaches, otitis media, prescription management) is addressed and requires significant additional work to perform the required key components and is medically necessary". We have a note that is documented as "stable on medication, but on drug holiday for the summer. Gave mom instructions on how to restart medications". Can I get your thoughts on if this would fall under prescription drug management?
:confused:
What is a general length of time to which "restarting medication" is considered significant? Your input is greatly appreciated.

Multiple, dual, co-, and counter signatures.
Multiple, dual, co-, and counter signatures feature in the EHRs.. Is anyone else struggling with trying to figure out who did what when the rounding notes are signed multiple providers? Especially struggling with this for multi-dis-plenary groups. If you have what steps are implementing?
thanks for any info, emails welcome:)
Abandoned ICD lead with Dual chamber pacemaker and leads removal
Can someone advise if we are able to code for the abandoned ICD lead removal separately or if would be included with the PM lead extraction code.(33235) I appreciate the assistance.
Dual chamber PM in situ with abandoned ICD lead codes requested.Thank you.
I don’t have my code book with me. I understand we would code for the PM generator removal & the 33235 for the leads but am not certain if we would use the ICD lead(s) removal code in this case.
Appreciate the assistance!
