1. true
2. false

Answer 1

The statement regarding critical care services for infants 29 days through 24 months being reported with codes 99291 and 99292 is false; these codes apply to patients older than 28 days, including adults.

Step-by-step explanation:

The critical care services provided to infants from 29 days to 24 months of age in an inpatient setting are incorrectly attributed to codes 99291 and 99292. It is false because these codes are actually used for critical care of any patient older than 28 days, including adults. For infants and children younger than 29 days, different codes are used for reporting critical care services. It's important for medical billing and coding professionals to use the correct codes to ensure accurate billing and compliance with medical reporting standards.
