According to CPT® guidelines: “The critical care codes 99291 and 99292 are used to report the total duration of time spent by a physician providing critical
care services to a critically ill or critically injured patient. Time spent with individual patient should be recorded in the patient’s record.” According to CPT® guidelines: “Services such as endotracheal intubation (31500) and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (92950) are not included in the critical care codes. Therefore, they can be coded separately in addition to critical care
services if the critical care is a significant, separately identifiable service, and is reported with modifier -25. The time spent performing these other services,
eg, endotracheal intubation, is excluded from the determination of the time spent providing critical care.” In the CPT® Index, look for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR). You are referred to 92950. Review code to verify accuracy. In the CPT® Index, look for Catheterization/Central. You are referred
to 36555-36566. 36556 is the correct code because the patient is 5 years of age and there is no indication the CVP was tunneled. In the CPT® Index, look for Intubation/Endotracheal Tube. You are referred to 31500. Review code to verify accuracy
