Which code is used for the most comprehensive re-exam among listed options?

• A. 99212
• B. 99215
• C. 99213
• D. 99214

Answer: (B)

In re-evaluation coding, you choose the level of service based on how much history, examination, and medical decision making you document. The most comprehensive re-exam requires a detailed history, a thorough and broad physical examination, and high-level medical decision making, which typically also means more time spent with the patient and a more extensive treatment plan.

Among the options, the one that represents the highest level of service is the most comprehensive re-exam. That level is used when the patient’s condition is complex or has changed enough to demand a full reassessment with robust documentation. The other levels correspond to progressively less extensive history, exam, and decision making, suitable for simpler follow-ups or problem-focused visits.
