Billing for Trauma Team Activations Your facility can bill for trauma team activations when patients are brought to the facility by EMS. You can not bill for activations that occur for walk ins or clients who come in by private vehicles. You should bill for trauma team activations since trauma patients require an intensive level of resources, evaluation and treatment. The trauma fee is in addition to the emergency department fee. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid have issued billing codes and instructions for billing a trauma team activations. The links below are to the relavant Medicare Claims Processing Manual and a Medicare Learning Network Matters publication addressing trauma activation billing. The National Foundation for Trauma Care has issued an FAQ regarding trauma codes. That document is also included below.
