According to MedAssets, an epidural shot is included in the delivery code. Are the continuous epidurals the only anesthesia charges captured on the professional side?
Example: 01/01/10 Patient is admitted in labor and given an epidural shot.
01/02/10 Patient delivered vaginally
01/03/10 Patient is discharged
I was always under the impression that only the 59400/59409 would be charged and if the patient had a continuous epidural, then that would be additional. I tried researching this and I am unable to come up with anything.
Help would be appreciated. Thanks
