Question

When coding a medical record, you noticed the patient had critical care services while in the ED. How are you to correctly code this record? a. Only Critical Care Services b. Only ED Service c. Both Critical Care and ED Services

Answer 1

B I think for only Ed services

Answer 2

Ideally, a record should be made showing that the patient is getting Critical Care and ED services, as shown in option C.

We can arrive at this answer because:

• When a patient arrives at an Emergency Department (ED), the Critical Care service is only started after other emergency services have already been provided.
• This is because Critical Care services are very expensive services, other services should be provided beforehand to try to solve the patient's problem.
• If these other services fail to resolve the patient's problem, Critical Care must be initiated.

In the case of the patient shown in the question above, we can state that the patient's record must be specific about all the services that the patient used. In that case, the record must show Critical Care services and ED services.
