I am looking for clarification on billing critical care. I bill for hospitalists. If more then one hospitalist (same specialty, same tax ID) sees a critically ill patient on the same day, how do you bill for it?
One place I looked stated that if the 1st one states 60 minutes and the 2nd states 30 minutes, you bill 99291 for the 1st and 99292 for the 2nd. The other place I looked stated you bill both codes for just one of the providers.
Any clarification I can get would be very helpful. Thank you.
