Minimal/RN visit: 99201 Minimal RN visit: 99211 2. Problem focused: 99202 Problem focused: 99212 3. Expanded problem focused: 99203 Expanded problem focused: 99213 4. Detailed: 99204 Detailed: 99214 5. Comprehensive: 99205 Comprehensive: 99215 15. Discuss a minimum of three purposes of the written history and physical in relation to the importance of documentation Important reference document that gives concise info about the pt's Hx and exam findings.

State the maximum number of hours that time can be spent “rounding” in a facility No more than 25% of total practicum hours in the program 22. State 9 things that must be documented when inputting data into clinical encounter Date of service Age Gender and ethnicity Visit E&M code CC Procedures Tests performed and ordered Dx Level of involvement (mostly student, mostly preceptor, together, etc.) 23. What is the first “S” in the SNAPPS presentation? Summarize: present the pt's H&P findings 24. What is the “N” in the SNAPPS presentation? Narrow: based on the H&P findings, narrow down to the top 2-3 differentials 25. What is the “A” in the SNAPPS presentation? Analyze: analyze the differentials. Compare and contrast H&P findings for each of the differentials and narrow it down to the most likely one 26. What is the first “P” in the SNAPPS presentation? Probe: ask the preceptor questions of anything you are unsure of. 27. What is the second “P” in the SNAPPS presentation? Plan: come up with a specific management plan . 28.
