99291 and 99292 x 4 is the correct code combination because this patient required 190 minutes of critical care evaluation and management.
Code 99291 is the correct code for the first 30-74 minutes of critical care evaluation and management. 99292 is also correct, but must be calculated correctly to add each 30 minutes after the initial 74 minutes.
