What 92950 covers
CPT 92950 represents active cardiopulmonary resuscitation for a patient in cardiac or respiratory arrest. The service may occur in an emergency department, hospital unit, or another setting where a clinician responds to an arrest. It describes the resuscitation effort, not temporary pacing or electrical cardioversion performed as separate services. The record should establish the arrest and document that CPR was performed, including the clinician’s role in the resuscitation.
Report the code for the CPR service, supported by the resuscitation documentation. CMS assigns a 0-day global period, so same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included. Modifier 50 is inappropriate because the service and anatomy do not support bilateral reporting. CMS payment for an assistant at surgery requires documented medical necessity; co-surgeon and team-surgery payment is not permitted. The Medicare fee schedule lists separate office and facility practice-expense values for this code.
This summary was written with AI assistance from CMS physician fee schedule data and checked against the CMS billing rules shown here. Rates on this page come directly from CMS files.

92950 billing questions
When should 92950 be reported instead of temporary pacing?
Use 92950 for CPR performed during cardiac or respiratory arrest. Report 92953 when temporary external pacing is performed; pacing does not describe chest-compression resuscitation.
Can CPR and temporary external pacing be reported together?
They describe different services and may be reported when both CPR and temporary external pacing are performed. Document the arrest and the separate pacing service.
Is modifier 50 appropriate for CPR?
No. CMS identifies bilateral adjustment as inappropriate for this service, so modifier 50 is not appropriate.
What global period applies to 92950?
92950 has a 0-day global period. Same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included.
What documentation supports 92950?
Document the cardiac or respiratory arrest, that CPR was performed, and the clinician’s participation in the resuscitation.
Can an assistant, co-surgeon, or surgical team be paid for this service?
CMS permits assistant-at-surgery payment only when medical necessity is documented. Co-surgeon and team-surgery payment is not permitted.
Where these rates come from
FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indexes and the conversion factor. Services without a published rate are labeled, never given a made-up amount. Amounts are Medicare allowed amounts before claim adjustments: not a patient’s bill or a commercial rate.
