I have run into a problem with an electrical cardioversion (see above description), CPT code 92960. The patient was unable to provide informed consent due to current physical condition/intubation/etc. As the 92960 is defined in the CPT book as being an "elective" procedure, does it require an informed consent to be billed? We have been told by one consultant yes, but I am unable to locate supporting documentation. Any help is appreciated.
