Code Blue Billing

We are a group of students from Medical Coding Special Program at Renton Technical College doing an externship focused on researching the coding and billing processes regarding cardiac arrest events. The findings from this research will be (i) used to improve a mobile cardiac arrest documentation product (FormatHealth.com) and (ii) aggregate, anonymized responses will be shared with all participants who provide contact information.

We currently do not bill for cardiac arrest events

We likely miss billing opportunities for cardiac arrest events due to insufficient data

A consolidated electronic code blue billing record would assist in proper billing

What impact does this record have on coding and billing?

Code blue teams generally have a designated "code recorder" who is responsible to document the cardiac arrest on a paper form which is later scanned and/or transcribed into the EHR. We are trying to understand whether the "code record" is a source for billing information.

If the code record is a source for coding/billing, is it the exclusive source?

Or is it supplemental to the note that the supervising physician enters into EHR post-event? Other data sources?

Will the event still be coded/billed if "code record" is missing?

If the "code record" is missing (or incomplete or missing signatures), will the event still be billed? What if the "code record" shows sufficient information to bill for CPR and/or other procedures, but there is no separately entered physician note in the EHR?
