Wiki Fiberoptic Intubation - Is there a separate procedure

[nboening]

Is there a separate procedure code to use when billing for Fiberoptic Intubation? Thanks in advance!!

There is no separate code for fiberoptic intubation. We bill the -22 modifier when awake fiberoptic intubation is utilized and send documentation. Of course, this is not paid by Medicare and/or Medicaid.
