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.
