CRNA does not stay for the entire case – can I still bill for them?
Here is the scenario: MD1 and the CRNA began the case. CRNA left after 46 minutes. MD 2 appears to have given MD 1 a break midway through the case – my question is do I ONLY bill for MD1 with the AA modifier, or do I bill for MD1 (QY) AND the CRNA (QX) ?
Name: MD 1
Start Time: 02/26/18 14:10:00 Stop Time: 02/26/18 15:59:00 Total Time: 109
Name: MD 2 Activity: Supervisor Concurrency/Res: 1/0
Start Time: 02/26/18 16:00:00 Stop Time: 02/26/18 16:18:00 Total Time: 18
Name: CRNA
Start Time: 02/26/18 14:10:00 Stop Time: 02/26/18 14:56:00 Total Time: 46
Any and all help is greatly appreciated!!

Entire spine x-rays vs individual codes for c spine, t spine and l spine
Our radiology practice normally codes each body part separate, unless they are performing the scoliosis study. Is there any specified rule for this? I assumed that the entire spine codes were coded when the entire spine was included in each view, and the individual codes were coded when the X-rays were just focused in on the C spine, T spine, and L spine.
Example:
C spine 3 views 72040
T spine 2 views 72070
L Spine 3 views 72100
Insurance paid on 72100, and did not pay the others stating it was included in the primary procedure.
Would it be correct to code 72040, 72070 and 72100 on a claim? Or should it be coded 72084?
Any info or reference material would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
