Can code 92950 be billed multiple times per encounter, and which department should be responsible for reporting it?
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation is a covered service under the OPPS. The facility may bill this code one time per patient encounter. Since numerous departments respond to “code blue” situations, the facility should determine which department should submit CPT® code 92950 to ensure consistency and avoid duplication in the reporting of the service.
