Hi,
If anyone can help me it would be greatly appreciated.
I am coding for a hospital; The anesthesiologist is using moderate sedation to place nerve blocks before a surgery. The surgery anesthesia is MAC and I know I can’t charge for the nerve block, but was wondering if I could charge for a facility charge for the mod sedation? I was thinking it’s like when you charge for us guidance used with a nerve block even when you can’t charge for the nerve block.
