Hello Everyone. I am trying to figure out what code a physician would use to bill for his services he provided on a life flight from one hospital to another. This is just for the professional services the physician performed, life flight already billed with the appropriate A code.
I think critical care services would work but the physician only provided care for 21 minutes and to use a critical care code he would have had to provide atleast 30 minutes of critical care. One person told me to use 99499 since it was under 30 minutes but I don't know if that is correct. What do you guys think?
