Wiki Billing Moderate & Deep Sedation

[lcole7465]

So, with moderate sedation being separately billable and by the surgeon. Is it appropriate to bill Moderate & Deep sedation at the same time. An Example is the billing sheet has a moderate sedation from 1212-1240 and then deep sedation from 1240-1325. Most of these are for Autistic patients or patients with other behavioral disabilities requiring sedation for MRI's, CT's, ABR, etc.

Or would this be the same as an anesthesia case that goes from MAC to General??

Thanks
