Our docs in Pain Management charge for 99144 in an ASC setting, primarily 2 mg of IV Versed preoperatively. I understand the reasoning but have always wondered why the physician charges 99144 and I assume the ASC charges as well due to an RN doing the monitoring...................

can the ASC and the doc charge for the conscious sedation? I have researched and found conflicting answers.

What do you think? Thanks in advance.
