Wiki 99100

In what scenario can I use this cpt?

I know the pt s/b < 1 y/o or 70< but I understood that this one is bundeled in the general anesthesia mode so it's a bit unclear ?

Thanks

99100 is not bundled with any type of anaesthesia mode.
Irrespective of anaesthesia type we can use 99100 if patient age is less then 1 yr or more then 70 yrs

?

But I get a clain rejection status in 3m.??
So can I try to finalize it and let the insurance "think" if they would like to pay for it?

Lets say 01400 and 99100?

Certain carriers will pay for that code. Other ones will not. I know our Medicare carrier will not pay for that charge so we rarely use it unless it's a commercial payor.

Is it also

The same with the emergency cpt 91400(?) some will pay but not medicare ?
