I was wondering if anyone who does Anesthesia billing for a Michigan provider could let me know if pre-auth is required for the major payers. We will be billing for Anesthesia for an ASC in a few months and I am trying to determine what type of information is required. If you have any other helpful tips that would be appreciated also. Thank you .

i am not from the michigan area but came across your post, typically anesthesia DOES NOT require prior auth. Since the anesthesiologist/crna doesnt see the patient until day of surgery. I realize that you work for ASC but im sure this applies no matter what type of center/hospital.
i hope my answer helps
