As long as I've been doing this, you would think I would know the answer but then again, I've been searching for an hour and still haven't found a straightforward answer anywhere.

When the anesthesiaologist is directing a CRNA and it is an emergency surgery, can both bill 99140 or just one of them. If it's just one, which one? :eek:
 
Thank you for responding, Alicia.

I have to admit, I'm a little disappointed that there weren't more responses. When I brought this up in an impromptu facebook chat with some other coders I got a lot of responses. Unfortunately, the opinions were varied and now I'm less sure than I was when I first asked the question. :confused:
 
99140

When the anesthesiologists medically directs CRNA, we only bill the 99140 under the anesthesiologist's name, not the CRNA.
