Has anyone ever come across having to bill interrupted time. i have had two cases last week. One was a D&C the other was an I&D od the foot, in both cases the surgeon was called on an emergent case. The patients were induced transferred to recovery then brought back to the OR 15 min later for the procedure. On the I&D the interrupted time is 0650 to 0810 surgeon not available, then patient went back to OR 0843 anesthesia end time 0916. Do you just bill for the 2nd case? any help would be appreciated
