Do you have to take a patient's temperature everytime they are seen
Is it required to take a patient's temp each visit?

nope- you need 3 vitals to count the bullet so pick your three to use

Thank you for the quick reply. I'm confused about bullet's. Can you please explain that?
re: DO YOU HAVE TO TAKE A PATIENT'S TEMPERATURE EVERYTIME THEY ARE SEEN
it's a billing term, you have to count bullet points to see what level of care they received. google bullets and E&M and you'll see..

Thank you for your help

Depending on why the patient is there and type of practice, it maybe necessary every time the patient comes.

We are internal medicine and we take temp every time....its required I believe with EMR.

Your EMR may require it but it is silly to do a temp for a patient for a BP check- BP, Pulse, RR are the three we do every time. add height yearly and weight every 3 months.
