I need little input for proper coding of the anesthesia coding related to labor and delivery and how to bill CRNA and MDA charges. The case situation is that the mother started out with an epidural only under the CRNA (modifier QZ) Then due to failure to progress the mother had a C-section done. At that point the MDA became more active in the case and he was present for the C-section along with the CRNA. All the requirements of billing using QK and QX are met for the c-section part of the day. My question is how to code the c-secion.
1. Is it to be coded 01968-QK and 01968- QX in addition to 01967-QZ?
2. Or is it to be coded as 01967-QZ and then 01961 with QK & QK?
3. Or?
Thanks in advance for any input.
