I will have Alicia chime in.Lori/Alicia - I am reading the Dec. 2021 AAPC Healthcare Business Monthly and have a question. On page 38 under the FAQ No. 5, the statement, "The diagnosis does not need to be treated, managed or addressed; it merely has to be an ongoing chronic condition noted by the treating provider or part of MDM." I was in a webinar presented by a consulting team and they stated the mention of the disease and treatment/status must be documented in the HPI. If it is just in the assessment, the physician will not get credit as having addressed it at the visit and it can't be captured. Can you help clarify? Or am I misunderstanding altogether.
