Wiki How to bill 180 consecutive minute in critical care?

[shathau]

Hello,

I work for a hospitalist who spent 180 consecutive minutes with 1 patient in critical care, code 99291. I was told that I can bill more than one 99291 code, but I don't know how to do this, or which modifier to use. Or, is it even true that code 99291 can be billed more than once?

I appreciate any assistance!

Thanks,

The AMA CPT book has a chart that you can reference.

Thank you! I guess I should've looked at my book first.
