Can you bill a consult (99255), critical care (99291 and 99292), a central line (36556) and an intubation (31500) all on the day for Medicare? Which codes would I need modifiers for in order to get reimbursed?
 
Medicare

You cannot bill a consult code to Medicare under any circumstance any more.

Critical Care time must be documented as EXCLUSIVE of any procedures for which you are also seeing payment.

Don't forget your modifiers.

How to bill a 99255 and a 99291 on same day of service?

Can I bill a 99255 and a 99291 on the same dos - patient was seen twice on that day (non-Medicare pt, same billing provider)? Any advice would be greatly appreciated...
Thanks!
