Neonatal Transport codes 99466-99467
Can NPs bill for neonatal transport codes? Just want to verify one way or the other. Thank you!
Transport
Depends on Scope of Practice in individual State and on the payer.
Critical care services delivered by a physician, face-to-face, during an interfacility transport of critically ill or critically injured pediatric patient, 24-months of age or less, are reported based on the time of face-to-face care beginning when the physician assumes primary responsibility at the referring hospital/facility and ending when the receiving hospital/facility accepts responsibility for the patient's care. Report code 99466 for 30-74 minutes of hands-on care and code 99467 for each additional 30 minutes of hands-on care. Less than 30 minutes of hands-on care during transport would not be separately reported.
