re: ROS and Exam
99203 requires a detailed history and a detailed exam.
A detailed history is 4 HPI elements, 2-9 systems in the ROS and 1 or 2 of PFSH, depending on the code category.
A detailed exam is 12 elements from 1995 or an extended exam of 2-7, some payers use 5-7.
Having ROS doesn't negate the need for the exam.
