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.
