Conscious sedation billing for hospital and physician

Date: Sep 23, 2011

Question:

Hello, I have a question when it comes to conscious sedation facility vs. professional billing. If the physician performs conscious sedation on a procedure that does not have a bullet, can cpt code 99144 be added to both the hospital claim and the cm 1500 form. New to hospital billing and not sure if I can add the code to both claims. I do know that modifier 26 or TC do not apply. Thank you for your help.
