CPT Code 31500: Intubation, Endotracheal, Emergency Procedure

No. CPT 31500 is separately reportable in addition to critical care codes like 99291–99292, provided it is medically necessary and documented.

Typically, only one unit per encounter is allowed unless a reintubation occurs later and is clearly documented and separately necessary.

No. RSI is considered part of CPT 31500. However, medications used for RSI can be billed separately using HCPCS or J-codes.
