Both of the doctors are emergency room doctors with different NPI's but the same Tax ID number.
Dr. Blue sees Oliver age 25 and decides a need for a reduction to his left arm, he does the moderate sedation of 25 minutes, while Dr. White does the reduction.
Which moderate sedation code would Dr. Blue bill?
99152-sedation provided by the physician performing the reduction
99156-sedation provided by a physician not performing the reduction.
Basically is this cpt code based off of the NPI or Tax ID.
 
Did you find anymore out about this? I would code 99156 for Dr Blue
