    Wiki CRNA Venipuncture w/ General Anes

    Our CRNA was called in to do a venipuncture on a child that has bad veins. They tried versed, but the child still could not be controlled. They ended up doing the venipuncture under general anesthesia. Can we charge for that anesthesia or is it going to be part of the VP? Thank you!
