For 99292 - Critical care, evaluation and management of the critically ill or critically injured patient; each additional 30 minutes (List separately in addition to code for primary service)-
Should we be writing new notes and billing for each additional 30 minutes that we are managing our critical care patients who are awaiting an ICU bed. Typically the average length of stay for these patients waiting is about 4-6 hours in our ED before ICU bed is available. I know we are not continuing to document and code for the each additional 30 minutes of care- but I think we should be doing that. Please let me know what the documentation requirements for this are and we will instruct the physicians.
Any input would be great
Thanks!
