Our facility provides ventilation management services both in our skilled nursing unit and for patients at home. Can you clarify which codes we should use for each setting, and how often they can be billed?
There are two codes that represent services provided in the skilled nursing facility, extended care/assisted living facility, and patient home. Nursing facilities will bill for invasive ventilation management on a per-day basis with CPT 94004. If providing home ventilation management services, the CPT® code 94005 represents physician oversight and revision of the patient’s plan of care based on clinical status, laboratory values, or results of other studies. This CPT is billed once per month and is considered a professional service only.
