Hi

A question was asked in regards to critical care time in the ED. Several physician asked if they should be including any time that they provided support to Medic prior to patient's arrival in the ED? Has anyone run into this and if so, do you have a documentation that will help assist me?

Thank You
 
Looking at the CPT guidelines it mentions provider needs to be immediately available to the patient or it cant be counted as time.

You may want to look into 99228 for Physician professional direction of EMS emergency care, advanced life support
