Wiki Is this Procedure Billable?

[kvogel03]

Hello,

I have a physician that performed a Angioplasty to the Right Coronary Artery, inserted a Intraaortic Balloon Pump, Temporary Pacemaker, and CPR initiated. Are these procedures billable to the insurance if the patient was pronounced dead on the table?

Yes. As long as the official time of death is after the procedure has been performed, they are billable.
