The Dilemma Of Critical Care Billing
Critical care billing is considered to be starkly different from the billing process of other medical specialties. For instance, a patient is admitted to the hospital due to a septic shock, and doctors initiate the Critical Care provision. However, the dilemma arises when, for instance, the surgical critical care billing procedure is about to begin as the critical care billing is based on the overall time and nature of critical care provision. Consequently, practices need to watch their clocks and focus on the extent of their service while billing critical care time. This is why doctors and critical care providers find it very tricky to bill for critical care in a smooth and effective manner.
What Constitutes Critical Care?
To bill for Critical Care services, it is imperative to first define what constitutes Critical Care. Fundamentally, Critical Care is defined as the provision of instant and direct healthcare by a physician to patients who are facing a critical illness or instability. This is also why its billing process is also known as critical care emergency medicine billing. Further, such a patient might have an affected organ vital to the body, leading to life-threatening conditions. Therefore, the fact that a patient’s condition is radically deteriorating makes him/her eligible for critical care and he/she shall be billed keeping in mind the nuances of the Critical Care billing procedures.
