Dr Walker provides an overview of the differences between coding 99213 and 99214 with regard to the physical examination component. The physical examination can be assessed by the number of systems or the number of bullets.
Because the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) is not able to verify the accuracy of the facts relating to a patient encounter, we cannot be held responsible for any coding decisions that you make based on the guidance you receive from the AAP. It is your responsibility to only code for what you do during a patient encounter.
