I do anesthesia billing and just took my CPC exam last Saturday, so I am brand new to this. I have a question about coding an in-office case where my anesthesiologist went in to provide sedation for a GYN patient during her hysteroscopy/ablation. The patient wanted to try to do it without any sedation/anesthesia, so my anesth did the exam/history etc and inserted the IV. He had her on monitors and he gave her ketorolac and ondansetron and that was it. No sedation/anesthesia, but he was there the whole time to provide it, if needed.
How do I accurately code the services the anesthesiologist provided? My instinct is to code a consult code with a 25, the IV and the meds.
