What else was done?
Were there any life saving attempts in the ED?, CPR, drug intervention etc?

re: er code/charge for doa
my old facility used to charge a level 2-level 3 depending on documentation, usually the doctor is the team leader on the code blue sheet a lot of times they will pronounce two minutes after arrival, doc really didn't do anything, but he is the director of the code so we would give credit to them.

I would ask the ED group. Some ED physician's groups do not charge for a true DOA, no intervention at all. If the ED physician did any intervention then yes, normally a low level.
