Looking for specific guidelines on billing for moderate sedation under 10 minutes. We are currently being advised to bill for 4 minutes of sedation which does not seem correct to myself and my coding manager. Any help and reference to specific guidelines that we can bring to their attention would be greatly appreciated. This is for interventional nephrology in an outpatient setting.

Thank you
 
Per coding guidelines for moderate sedation in the table of your CPT book, it states less than 10 minutes is not separately reported.
