What qualifies for this to be an emergency?
The anesthesiologist almost always marks the emergency on our billing sheets for this even when it was just a failure to progress.
01967
01968
99140
If anyone has a reference to diagnosis codes acceptable for use with 99140 that would be a tremendous help! The only one I am seeing that consistently pays with a c-section is breech presentation. Any additional info on the 99140 is appreciated!
Is there anything that I can tell our anesthesiologists to document more clearly for this to be payable?
I don't have problems getting this paid for other procedures.
Thank you!
