Any inpatient docs billing for critical care time during rapid responses (or other times of critical workup, like acute neuro change and ordering stat CTs, etc)?
I've typically just bumped up my code to a 99233 for times like that (and add prolonged service if relevant), but a number of internists have said you can bill critical care outside the ICU and many have billed for critical care time responding to rapids on our rehab unit.
I am curious to know what others are doing
