Hi There. I code for a group of Critical care physicians that float around various area hospitals and LTACs. Now I understand that a group of physicians bill critical care as one provider. My question is how would you bill critical care (assuming time and documentation requirements were met) for a patient that is seen at Facility A seen by Dr. A and transferred to Facility B and Seen by Dr. B on the same day. Dr. A and B are both part of the same group practice. Would Dr. A get 99291 and Dr. B get 99292, or would they both get 99291 because of the different facilities? I lean toward the A - 99291, B - 99292 because it states per day, but I have an MD who argues for the later option.
