I code for anesthesia and I need some input. I have a claim for an organ procurement. Everything I have found only shows the ASA 01990. In my old position for the providers I coded for that is what we used. My current employer is telling me that it needs to be a CPT code and wants to use 33944. My issue with is that there is op report stating what organs were actually taken and my understanding on these codes is that they are for direct donor to recipient tranplants. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
