The physician was notified to go to the hospital floor for medical management of a 56 year-old patient admitted one day ago for aspiration pneumonia and COPD. An expanded problem focused history was documented indicating no chest pain at present, but still SOB and some swelling in his lower extremities. Was tachypenic yesterday. Problem focused exam with the lungs revealing course crackles in both bases, right worse than left. MDM was moderate with the continuation of intravenous antibiotic treatment and respiratory support, reviewed chest X-ray and labs. Patient is improving and a pulmonary consultation has been requested. What CPT® code should be reported
