Absolutely. PCS codes can be assigned based on their procedure notes. I would suggest you assure they are credentialed within your facility to perform these procedures. Reference AHA Coding Clinic, Q1, 2014.
◦It is appropriate to assign a procedure code based on documentation by a non-physician
professional when that professional provides the service. This may be the only evidence
that the service was provided.
◦For example, infusions may be carried out by a nurse, mechanical ventilation may be provided by a respiratory therapist, or a drug may be ordered by the physician and
administered by a nurse.
◦This guidance ONLY applies to the procedure NOT
the diagnosis. <AHA, Coding Clinic, Q1, 2014>
