Mike,

I want to be clear on this.  Are you stating that the Hospital should 
have a trauma activation charge based on a Physician E/M code?

>The codes are:
>
>CPT - We recommend that the critical care code 99291/2 be used (you may need 
>to use a modifier if you are also charging the critical care APC
>Revenue:450 for revenue (until the new trauma revenue codes are active)
>
>The charges are based on your level of service and cost. 
>
>Documentation is handled throughout a standard trauma nurses note flow sheet. 
>

>Feel free to contact me directly with more specific questions.
