I think you may want to try the larger numbers first, depending on how you
wrote as >=20 may assign that code even though >=121 is the one you want as
>=121 is greater than 20, but the >=20 satisfied the if statements.
if (time >= 121) and (time <= 150) then code = 99291
if time >= 76 then code = 99290
if time >= 20 then code = 99289
If you were using <= then you would put the lower values first.

The way it is written you will get only one code. Plus you could get none
if the time is20, 75, 120 or 150. If you want only one code then you need
to use "greater than or equal" "less than or equal" like this:
if (time >= 20) and (time <= 75) then code = 99289
if (time >= 76) and (time =<120) then code = 99290
if (time >= 121) and (time <= 150) then code = 99291
If you want multiple codes for values over 75 then this
if time >= 20 then code = 99289
if time >= 76 then code = 99290
if (time >= 121) and (time <= 150) then code = 99291
