Wiki Nebulizer in ED

[kjferg47]

I would like to know if the MD in the ED can bill for a Nebulizer treatment (94640) on the Part B side. In an office setting it is different but I was wondering if it is billable on the physician side in the ED. I'm pretty sure the MD is just ordering it and highly doubt that he/she is the one actually providing the treatment.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Ken

The nebulizer charge goes to the facility in the ED

Yes , Nebulizer was only ordered by physician , so physician can't bill for nebulizer treatment .
