currently a reported issue for the patient. (Herzing University, n.d.). I would classify this visit

as a category one, with a concise history of present illness, problematic focus on the patients’

skin with the diagnosis of Tinea Versicolor with medication management options. (Herzing

University, n.d.). The points applied to this visit would be 2 for the established problem that is

in an exacerbating stage, and 1 point for the KOH prep that was obtained for diagnosis and

treatment options, in the minimal risk category. (Herzing University, n.d.).

In conclusion, this new patient office visit would include a thorough health history, a focused

integumentary exam, with moderate difficulty evaluation decision presenting for the billing

code to substantiate its use. (Herzing University, n.d.). This visit would be charged as a 99203.

Hey Mohamad! I thought this was a difficult assigment. I did learn that assessment and managing codes

are a distinctive type of CPT code that is necessary for each appointment. (Herzing University, n.d.).

These codes establish the invoicing level for the providers packages that is established on the

necessary information in the SOAP notes written by the providers. (Herzing University, n.d.).

Codes are selected that are centered on the category of appointment, nurse appointment, doctor

appointment, new patient appointment, established patient appointment, critical and prolonged illness,

well patient check, inpatient, specialty clinics, home health care, and nursing home appointments.

(Herzing University, n.d.). There is a predetermined set of principles for every code. (Herzing

University, n.d.).
