Doctor for nephology wants to know if he can bill critical care for dialysis treatment. I've read that critical care can only be billed with dialysis only if if organ failure or systemic infection occurs during treatment. Does he just bill prolonged services if everything goes fine? I appreciate any and all comments!! I'm pretty sure hes looking for a code to describe the managemnt or organ failure.:confused:
