Who should bill for CPR? and what elements need to be included in the note. Eg. Had patient where multiple attendings performed CPR- should doc discuss with leader and determine who is writing a note?
CPR isn't time-based, so theoretically you could have a few attendings with different specialties/tax IDs perform it. Maybe there's a psychiatrist down the hall who will join in? Also, direction of CPR doesn't require the billing physician to actually break a sweat by doing compressions. However, it's best to just have one of the docs take the credit.
