Has anyone coded a critical care with a smoking cessation charge?
Can you code critical care with smoking cesssation.
I want to say no, it doesn't seem like these two services would go together.
But the documentation I have meets the criteria for critical care and smoking cessation.
Patient develped hypotension postoperitively, with the possibility of developing sepsis. Patient is being resusitated with IV fluid support.
With SOB with a suspect element of COPD, being institued with brochodilators and O2 supplements.
Smoking cessation provided with more than 10 minitues during this inpatient encounter.
Any input on this.
Thanks
