Our anesthesia doc gave general anesthesia. He also provided peripheral IV line placement AND NG/OG tube placement.
Can I bill for general anesthesia along with the placement of the peripheral IV line and also bill for the NG/OG tube placement?
What codes would be most appropriate?

Thank you!
 
NG/OG tube per CCI Edits are integral to anesthesia and is not separately reportable; however, arterial, central, and picc lines are separately reportable and are considered an unusual form of monitoring not included in anesthesia per CPT anesthesia guidelines. Just make sure you add a 59 or XU modifier based on payer rules.
