Can you bill for Moderate Sedation in the ED when NO procedure is billed?
Example: PT comes in to the ED with a fracture, the fracture is reduced, but then the PT is taken to the OR by one of our facility’s Dr.’s to have surgery. We do not code our reduction in the ED because the surgery is the primary repair. So could we still code for the Moderate Sedation that was given for the reduction in the ED?
