4 Evaluation and Management Coding Advisor medical record when time is used to select a code for a visit that predominantly involves coordination of care or counseling. COUNSELING AND COORDINATION OF CARE Counseling is defined in the CPT book as a discussion with a patient and/or family concerning one or more of the following areas: Diagnostic results, impressions, and/or recommended diagnostic studies Prognosis Risks and benefits of management (treatment) options Instructions for management (treatment) and/or follow-up Importance of compliance with chosen management (treatment) options Risk factor reduction Patient and family education DOCUMENTATION SAMPLE Meets Expected Requirements: I had a discussion with the patient about his hypertension. The patient has a good understanding about the potential side effects of the various drugs used to treat his disease. I apprised the patient in detail of the potential side effects of not treating his condition. The patient expressed an understanding of the high risks of noncompliance, stating no one had spelled it out before. I firmly explained to the patient that I would be willing to help him explore alternative therapy for hypertension, but only if he were to strictly adhere to a conventional regimen of therapy until his hypertension was well controlled and stable. Does NOT Meet Expected Requirements: I apprised the patient in detail of the potential side effects of not treating his condition. Additional criterion for code selection revolves around counseling and coordination of care. Counseling, coordination of care, and the nature of the presenting problem are not major considerations in most encounters, so they generally provide contributory information to the code selection process. The exception arises when counseling or coordination of care dominates the encounter (more than 50 percent of the time spent). In these cases, time determines the proper code. Documentation of the exact amount of time spent will substantiate the selected code. For office encounters, count only the time spent face-to-face with the patient and/or family; for hospital or other inpatient encounters, count the time spent in the patient s unit or on the patient s floor, but be sure the time spent and counted is directed at OptumInsight, Inc.
5 Chapter 6: Documenting Counseling, Coordination, Time, and the Presenting Problem caring only for that patient. The time assigned to each code is an average and varies by physician. Along with the time, the medical record should explain what was discussed during the encounter. If a physician coordinates care with an interdisciplinary team of physicians or health professionals/agencies without a patient encounter, report it as a case management service (codes and 99362). DOCUMENTATION SAMPLE Meets Expected Requirements: After evaluating the patient in recovery from a stroke, I spoke at length (approximately 30 minutes) with the hospital s rehabilitation service to coordinate an appropriate physical therapy plan. Does NOT Meet Expected Requirements: Discussed physical therapy plan with hospital s rehabilitation service When counseling and/or coordination of care takes up more than 50 percent of the total visit time, the element of time is the key or controlling factor for selecting the appropriate level of E/M code and must be documented in the record. Often this element is difficult to determine from the standard documentation. Specifically designating what was discussed, as well as documenting the time involved providing this service will help substantiate a level of E/M service code. Moreover, documenting this component whether or not it takes up most of the time spent with the patient may help support the provider s position during a malpractice suit. It can also be helpful to show that the physician discussed diagnosis and management options with the patient or family. DOCUMENTATION SAMPLE Meets Expected Requirements: I spent 25 minutes discussing with the patient the risks and possible complications of the procedure, as well as alternative treatments. We also discussed possible lifestyle adjustments that may be necessary as a result of the surgery. Patient acknowledged understanding and wishes to proceed with the surgery. Total face-to-face time with patient 40 minutes. Does NOT Meet Expected Requirements: After evaluating the patient, I spent a considerable amount of time explaining the procedure. DEFINITIONS Counseling. Discussion with a patient and/or family concerning one or more of the following areas: diagnostic results, impressions, and/or recommended diagnostic studies; prognosis; risks and benefits of management (treatment) options; instructions for management (treatment) and/or follow-up; importance of compliance with chosen management (treatment) options; risk factor reduction; and patient and family education. Coordination of care. Often provided concurrently with counseling and includes treatment instructions to the patient or caregiver, special accommodations for home, work, school, vacation, or other locations, coordination with other providers, agencies, and living arrangements. Coordination of care is used to determine a level of service only when provided in the presence of the patient; otherwise, when provided without a patient encounter, report with case management codes OptumInsight, Inc. 53
