How do you bill for this? The anesthesia provider can’t turn a patient over to non-anesthesia provider due to the PACU being full and the anesthesia provider has to start the recovery process with the patient. Anesthesia stop isn’t documented until the patient has been turned over to a non-anesthesia provider. :confused:

HELP! Anesthesia – 7 Minute PACU Rule
Hello,
I was wondering if anyone knew the exact publication or compliance guideline set forth by CMS that talks of the general assumption that the anesthesia care team should only need 7 minutes for PACU turnover after a procedure.
I already put in a request with CMS but then received the follow-up email of "We cannot guarantee the response to your question" …. so …. there’s that.
Thanks in advance for any help you or guidance you can provide!
