Can you bill Prolonged services and Critical care together? I have a bill that was for 99223 ( Subsequent Hospital visit High complexity) and the doctor documented he spent 2 and 1/3 hours with patient face to face but then after that the patient went into shock and after that he spent 1 hour in critical care with the patient. Medicare is denying the 99233 code and the prolonged services code 99356 ( Prolonged services 1st hour) and paying the critical care code 99291. Is there a way to get all three paid?
