This webinar is designed to remove the confusion and help ED clinicians and coders accurately identify, document, and code critical care services with confidence.

Through real-world examples and case-based instruction, attendees will walk away with practical tools to support compliant, high-quality documentation.

Critical care services are often undercoded in the emergency department—not because they’re rare, but because they’re misunderstood. Many ED providers deliver critical care-level interventions without realizing the encounter meets the threshold for critical care billing.

What you’ll learn:

  • The true definition of critical care (and why discharge status doesn’t matter)
  • What counts — and what doesn’t — toward the 30-minute time requirement
  • Documentation tips that support both compliance and revenue integrity
  • Case walkthroughs: Which scenarios qualify?
