I have a physician that billed a critical care code of 99291 for a patient that I know if critically ill. However, when pulling his progress notes, it states that his PNA with spesis are improving and his chest x-ray shows improvement. Yes, the physician does document his time as 45 minutes. with him using the words "improved" and "improvement" would this still qualify as a critical care code?
Thanks.
Thanks.
