What are the 'rules' on coding chronic conditions with preventive well-checks (99381-99395)?
For instance -
1) If an autistic patient presents for his annual well-check and the provider only references the autism in the neurological exam, would you or would you not code the autism with the V20.2/V70.0? As a side note, these conditions are always listed in the patient's "problem list" in our EHR.
2) If a patient presents for a well-check and has diabetes which is noted to be stable in the assessment, would you code it?
I would greatly appreciate any guidance on this topic and/or references!
Thank you :)
