99223/99291 same provider

I have a Hospitalist whom admitted a patient @ 0300 as a 99223. At 0600, the pt crashed and my provider spent 60 min of critical care time. Can I use both?

Yes, as long as each represents a separate episode of care, and are documented separately.

Here's an article about critical care
