Wiki 99144/99155 with J codes

[jricci]

Hello All,

Is is ok to bill conscious sedation along with the seperate J codes used for meds that are a part of the sedation. Additionally, is payment generally available for supplies (A4550)?

We are a physician practice, not an ASC.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Yes. We bill the sedation code with the medications and supplies used. However, some payors do not cover sedation. I would check ahead.

Hope this helps!
