A palliative ARNP made a house call today and the patient was deceased for about 30 minutes when he arrived.

He did check the patient for pulse and spend time with the family and will be signing the death certificate. Would this be billable as a usual house call service like 99347, or maybe another CPT I'm not familiar with?

Thanks in advance!
 
I answered my own question by researching- it is billable as a home visit. I advised the provider to use a time statement because the E/M components for history and exam would be minimal.
