We do a routine transfer of a patient who requires diastat to go with for precaution, and because of that we have to send an ALS unit. We have yet to have to administer any medication and our crew members are arguing that they should chart the run BLS. Our argument is that regardless of how we will ultimately bill it, it was called in ALS, they do an ALS assessment and Als was required for precautionary measures, they should document the run the way it was ran. Are we wrong in our way on thinking? Should we be marking down these ALS runs when there are no ALS interventions or would the ALS assessment rule apply here making this run ALS billable?
