CC Billing
I would only bill the critical care in each of the circumstances.

As long as you have doc to support the level separate from the critical care then you should be able to bill them together. The problem with not billing the admit/discharge is that the readmission to the higher level facility might be denied if there is no discharge billed from the transferring facility.
