How/or would you bill/code for ER physician pronouncing patient DOA after a full exam in the ER?
 
No life saving attempts were administered in the ER. I read an article that states that most ED depts use low level 99281 for pronouncing pt deceased upon arrival to the ER.
 
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.
