Question:
How should I code anesthetic during electroconvulsive therapy? New Jersey Subscriber
Answer:
If your anesthesiologist provides the service, report 00104 (
Anesthesia for electroconvulsive therapy). Many states have local coverage determinations (LCDs) that don't allow a psychiatrist to bill separately for anesthesia, which is why your physician might be called for the procedure.
