I can't find guidance on this specific scenario:
First provider is a Physician and documents 35 minutes of critical care, second provider is mid-level and documents 74 minutes of critical care. Would you combine all of the time and bill the 99291 and 99292 under the mid-level provider (since that is who did the substantive amount of work) with the FS modifier- OR- would you bill the 99291 under the physician and the 99292 under the mid-level?
Seems like we would be looking revenue by billing the 99291 under the mid-level if we bill combining all time together.... Just wanted to get feedback on what others are doing in this scenario... I did look on multiple different coding platforms and also on Coding Intel and I can't find anything with this example.
Thank you,
