Question:
If a patient has one stable chronic illness and one acute uncomplicated illness without systemic symptoms, can we “up” the level of Problems Addressed to Moderate?

Answer:
No, sorry, unfortunately it does not work that way. The problems are no additive or cumulative. One stable chronic illness and one acute uncomplicated illness without systemic symptoms is still Low Problems Addressed.
