Problem Fix: Time spent counseling for E/M with Psychotherapy coding

Problem Fix: Drop down list limited to three choices


FIX: On the layout "Today, Therapist Focused on..." the time length of Psychotherapy given has been limited to the following: 20-30 minutes, 45-50 minutes, and 75-80 minutes, in accord with E/M standards. With one of these time lengths selected, the ICANotes program will select the correct E/M with Psychotherapy code.

Explanation: The Time Spent in Session drop down field had numerous time lengths, many added by users. However, only the three time lengths above are recognized for coding purposes, so users will have to fit their actual time into one of those categories.
