I code for trauma surgeons, I have never billed for vent. management before, how is this usually documented? Does the doctor need to document this in a seperate note? Has anyone billed for this and what has your experience been?
Thanks for any help!!!!
 
Pulmonologist or Intensivist

Vent management is usually billed by the intensivist or pulmonologist, as these codes are used once per day. Although the trauma surgeon may have intubated the patient, s/he is not usually actually managing the ventilator.

Hope that helps.
