Please help!!!
I do coding for an ASC who employs CRNA's. The ASC is in the state of NY. Which requires all CRNA to be supervised. NY does states the supervision has to be an MD (does not state what type of MD). The CRNA's are supervised by the GI doctors performing the endoscopy. They are not directed by an Anesthesiologist.
I need clarification that appending the modifier "QZ" to the CRNA claim is appropriate for billing purposes since it is a "GI" supervising not an Anesthesiologist. The GI doctor is taking responsibility for the CRNA.
If there are any Anesthesia GURU's to help, please do so!
