Patient gets drunk, swallows something. Patient can't breath. Pulmonologist does critical care and gets the patient stabelized. After the patient is stabelized, doc performs brochoscopy (31622) to remove F/B. Does the crital care code need a -25 modifier? Thanks for your suggestions.:cool:
 
Modifier use

Review your guidelines on use of modifier -25. If the documentation supports a significiant, separately reportable E/M service then modifier -25 is the way to go.
