  16. Click the Correct Choice A patient has 3 chronic problems requiring management. You need to review prior labs, review a bone density result, and order pulmonary function testing. The medical decision making level is: A. Moderate, supporting a level 4 code, because 3 diagnoses are present and 3 data review points are present (review lab, review radiology, order other test). B. High, supporting a level 5 code, because you are managing 3 chronic problems and managing lots of data. C. Low, supporting a level 3 code, because 3 diagnoses are present but only 2 data review points are tallied (review tests, order test). D. You can’t tell until the risk level is decided.

  17. Sorry, that is Incorrect Try Again

  18. Congratulations, that is Correct! Medical decision making level is determined by the higher 2 of the 3 subcomponent areas. Review of lab tests and ordering of lab tests each count as a separate data review point. You’ve completed Quick Quiz #2. Close this window to return to Coding 101 < Back
