Our surgeons are part of a "Trauma Team" and get called into the ER to care for trauma patients. We are debating how to appropriately bill for our surgeon's services. Would it be considered a "consult" and should bill 99241-99245 (depending on payer of course), or should we use ER codes 99281-99285, or something else? Someone mentioned using the critical care codes, but not all patients meet the qualifications of "critical care". Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
