I am new to anesthesia billing and have a question regarding base units. My understanding is a provider should report only the highest base unit procedure on the claim (with total minutes for all procedures if multiple).
When there are two anesthesia cpt procedures performed with the same base units (per the ASA Relative Value Guide), which CPT should be reported on the claim? Does it matter since the base value's are the same? Is there a protocol by body area?
Thank you for your input.
