For reporting critical care services, what is the maximum time that can be billed using code 99292?

The maximum time that can be billed using code 99292 for critical care services is indeed over 30 to 74 minutes. This code is specifically designed to report additional critical care time beyond the first 74 minutes, which are captured under the primary critical care code 99291.

When coding for critical care services, it's important to recognize that the initial 30-74 minutes of critical care time is billed using 99291, and any additional time after that can be billed with 99292. This means that code 99292 is applicable when the physician provides critical care services for more than 30 minutes but less than 75 minutes.

This allows coders and healthcare providers to ensure they are adequately compensated for the level of care provided during critical situations, where the patient's condition requires intensive monitoring and treatment.
