Medical Decision Making Requirements

One of my providers asked me if they had to actually prescribe medications that they felt they were managing to be able to choose a moderate management option from the Risk Table in Medical Decision Making. She used the example of patient's PCP prescribed cholesterol, hypertension and blood thinner medications. Our provider reviewed the list with the patient during their visit and agreed the patient should remain on the medications as they related to the reason we were seeing the patient. Does this qualify as Moderate Management Option on the risk table?

I say no because our provider did not prescribe the medication and therefore wouldn't be "managing it".

Any thoughts on this?
