CPT® provides a single code to report endotracheal intubation—31500 Intubation, endotracheal, emergency procedure —but application of this code isn’t always straightforward. Per CPT® and National Correct Coding Initiative (NCCI) guidelines, 31500 describes an emergency endotracheal intubation and should not be reported for elective endotracheal intubation. CPT Assistant (Dec. 2009) clarifies, “Code 31500 … should be reported for a stand-alone emergent or semi-emergent endotracheal intubation, such as rapid sequence intubation either using a rigid or flexible type of endoscope (ie, laryngoscope, bronchoscope).” There is no CPT® code for elective endotracheal intubation.#N#Additional points to keep in mind when considering 31500 include: 1 Do not separately report 31500 with any anesthesia procedure. NCCI guidelines confirm, “Airway access is necessary for general anesthesia and is not separately reportable.” 2 Endotracheal intubation is bundled in (included in) pediatric and neonatal critical care service codes (99293-99296). 3 Per CPT®, “Visualization of the airway is a component part of an endotracheal intubation, and CPT codes describing procedures that visualize the airway (e.g., nasal endoscopy, laryngoscopy, bronchoscopy) should not be reported with an endotracheal intubation. It is a misuse of diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopy codes to report visualization of the airway for endotracheal intubation.”
Do not separately report 31500 with any anesthesia procedure. NCCI guidelines confirm, “Airway access is necessary for general anesthesia and is not separately reportable.”. Endotracheal intubation is bundled in (included in) pediatric and neonatal critical care service codes (99293-99296).
