Wiki Respiratory Therapist Billing

[TCOUSIN]

I need assistance to find out if there is a procedure code that could be billed when the Respiratory Therapists gives an assessment to a inpatient. Can we bill for inpatient hospital services given by Respiratory Therapists? Are charges billed with the facility charges?

Please advise. Thanks

Respiratory therapy is part of the hospital's facility fees. Therefore, you cannot generate professional service fees for it.
