Hello. Anyone know if Moderate Sedation provided by a CRNA is payable if performed during an MRI? The CRNA would bill separately for his/her services (99155-99157). I’ve only billed anesthesia for general or MAC during surgical cases and not sure if insurance companies will pay for Mod Sed during MRI’s. Previously the radiology practice used RN’s for this service but now are looking for an outside anesthesia company to provide sedation. I’m in Michigan if that makes any difference.
If this is payable does the bill go out with any anesthesia modifiers? Thanks in advance for any advice.
