How do you code for Critical Care Services (99291 and 99292) when it is provided by physicians with different specialties?

When two or more physicians of different specialties provide care that is unique to each of their individual medical specialty and managing at least one of the patient’s critical illness(es) or critical injury(ies) at different times then the initial critical care service (CPT 99291) may be billable by each physician. Additional critical care services provided by another physician within the same specialty can be billed using the add-on code for critical care services (CPT 99292).
