Assuming that all of the services you performed otherwise met CPT’s definition of critical care services, you should submit the pediatric critical-care patient transport codes 99289 and 99290 for the face-to-face time you spent with the patient. This time should begin when you assumed primary responsibility of the patient at the referring hospital and end when the receiving hospital accepted responsibility for the patient’s care. Code 99289 is for the first 30–74 minutes, and code 99290 is for each additional 30 minutes. Since you spent a total of four face-to-face hours with the patient, you should submit 99289 once and 99290 six times. (Note that if the patient were older than 24 months, you would code the time spent providing critical care services to the patient with 99291 for the first 30–74 minutes and 99292 for each additional 30 minutes.) Then, for any services you provided after the patient was admitted to the receiving hospital, you should submit the appropriate inpatient pediatric critical care code (99293 or 99294).
Code 99289 is for the first 30–74 minutes, and code 99290 is for each additional 30 minutes.
