    • Not able to meet this measure

      For this measure we were told that the encounter type could only be 99213 or 99212.  Can we use encounter type 99214 for this measure.  This is the code we will use for billing.  Next we were told that if the blood pressure is above 120 we need to go to screenings and choose hypertension education then status ordered.  Will that meet this measure alone or do we have to add the follow up appointment in the screening.
