Hi All!
I have been told that time must be documented when billing critical care services. Does this include Pediatric Critical Care codes 99466 and 99467? Since these are new codes, I am not familiar with them and could not find it in the CPT guidlines. I have a provider that did document on his "hospital card" that the visit was a 2hr visit, but on the actual report he did not document his time. Is it necessary to have him ammend his notes to add time spent, or is time not necessary?
Any feed back would be greatly appreciated!!!
Thank you!
