I have a case where the patient was emergently taken back to OR later the same day after having heart surgery for post op bleeding. The anesthesiologist intubated patient and performed TEE. The cardiac surgeon only observed and he decided no need for any additional surgeries. The anesthesiologist does have his documentation as intubated, anesthesia start 16:04 and anesthesia stop 17:31 along with the TEE, report and interp. How do I code this since the surgeon never touched the patient, but the anesthesiologist did perform services? Thanks for any help you can give me.
