What CPT code should be used for a patient that requires 68 minutes of evaluation and management while in critical care?

99285
99288
99291
99292

Explanation

Answer: C - 99291 is the correct code for 30-74 minutes of evaluation and management of a patient in critical care.
Codes 99285 and 99288 are incorrect because these codes are about emergency room evaluation and management. Code 99292 is incorrect because this code is for each additional 30 minutes as an “add on” code for critical care evaluation and management.
