we have pt who came from outside nursing home to ED S/P fall. DX subdural hematoma, trach was suctioned, extended neuro eval done by nurse, bedside radiology done by nurse, PT came did blow by oxygen. PT was a DNR, from a facility charging stand point time in care was over 30 minutes can we charge the critical care charge? One of our coders is saying no because PT is DNR. Any help is appreciated.
