Assignment that is medical related, or nursing. Have to do a SOAP note, so you would have to know what a SOAP note is in regards to the medical field and there are questions you have to answer about CPT codes, billing codes for patient visits, Dx. codes, etc. But Ican add the diagosis codes.
Thanks Julie
Consider the following questions in your initial discussion post:
· Review the SOAP note accessed through this link. For purposes of the assignment, the patient is a ‘new patient’ in the practice.
· Initial Post
Use your lecture materials to determine what CPT E&M Code to utilize for this ‘new patient’ encounter.
You may choose to assign the code based on the anticipated/guestimate amount of time the provider would spend with the patient in the encounter or you may choose to utilize the Medical Decision Making (MDM) approach. If you choose the MDM include the following information in your discussion:
1. the level of history taking achieved – identify the history elements present
2. the type of exam performed – identify the number of systems and bulleted points in the note
3. the level of medical complexity encompassed – include # of points for a) diagnoses/management options, b) amount/complexity of data reviewed, and c) level of risk for complications, morbidity, mortality
Please be sure to validate your opinions and ideas with citations and references in APA format.
Your initial response is due by Wednesday at 11:59 pm CT.
Estimated time to complete: 2 hours
