how would you audit 99479, 99469,99480 and 99478? Since history,exam, and mdm is not reuired.
 
Critical Care

Since you do not need the Hx, Exam, MDM for these codes, and time is not a factor (since they are for a 24-hour period) the only elements you can go by are:
Patient must be critically ill.
Care provided must be critical care.

Hope that helps.
