Anethesia Coding

It is imperative for an anesthesiology and pain management coder to use the correct CPT codes, modifiers, and times to ensure that the physician is reimbursed for every procedure he performs in a session. The coder should code the procedures correctly and do the research on guidelines, CCI edits, and correct documentation before releasing the claim. The difference between a payable claim and a denied claim can be as simple as an incorrect modifier or diagnosis. It is important to understand the policies and guidelines of payers when coding for Anesthesia services. It’s crucial to have in-depth knowledge about all evolving rules that apply to the physicians specific locality to ensure accurate anesthesiology and pain management coding. At CICARE, we have a simple, structured payer specific process for coding anesthesiology and pain management services.
