We have an anesthesiologist who is performing a TEE prior to/during surgeries. Our dilemma is billing for him. The hospital owns the equipment (TC modifier), and the cardiologist reads the TEE (26 modifier). How can we bill for the anesthesiologists’ role in the patients care? Can we?

Billing ECT for anesthesiologist
Anyone have any information on billing for electroconvulsive therapy for an anesthesiologist?
I have a doctor who wants to bill for them in Massachusetts, but I have limited knowledge on reimbursement.

It is my understanding that the 90870 is billed as a unit, but wondering if the anesthesia is included?
Also any reimbursement figures?
Thank you!
On q painball/ infusion pump placed by anesthesiologist
I have been looking for days with no luck. All information pertains to the surgeon placing in which case it’s bundled. So does anyone have guidance when the anesthesiologist places the infusion pump-not spinal- but infusion of local anesthetic through a catheter.
