How to code a report without an Exam

Can anyone tell me how you get an E/M code for a report that has no exam section.

Ex: A patient has an MRI done and comes in the office for the results, I get the diagnosis and a plan but no Exam. The report is very short so I can not pull from anyother section to get an E/M code.

Do I query the doctor, have them do an addendum, can I pull things from the intake sheet if they have dated/initialed it?

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you,
LLR
