1:1 sitters

Is there a V Code to capture when patients require a 1:1 sitter? I would think this would increase SOI with the use of extra resources and monitoring.

    I don't know of a code that is specific to having a sitter. The reason a sitter is needed can hopefully be coded but that may or may not increase SOI.

    I would also be very interested in knowing if anyone has a code they use for this.
