We are needing help on coding for an unusual situation. Our Pediatrician had a critical patient that the ambulance service would not transport to the hospital so he took the patient himself.

We did find a code we thought was appropriate but the age was for 24 month old or younger and this patient is 10 years old. The provider would like to be reimbursed for mileage, hotel stay and also he consulted with the receiving physician during the transport. We also found a HCPCS code for non-emergent transportation but it was emergent.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Sharon
