Hi Friends,
Hope you help me with this !![Confused :confused: :confused:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Our provider did an inpatient consultation for a patient. On same day she also provided critical care of 2 hrs on same day for that patient.
We have coded the case like this :
99254.25 - 780.2, 780.4
70450.26 - 780.2, 780.4
99291 - 436, 438.21
99292 - 436, 438.21
Tha critical care services got denied saying not medically necessary.
What is the correct way of billing ? How we can get paid for extra time spent by physicain for critical care ?
Thanks.
