Hoping someone might be able to help me get some information regarding a new process we are starting. Our Medical Director, wants to start inserting subarachnoid blocks ("spinal" anesthesia) in the pre-op area instead of waiting until the patient is taken to the OR. The anticipated process is that there would be a CRNA in the POHA putting in the spinals, who would then assist the POHA nurses in monitoring the patients until they are taken back to the OR.
My question is how this would be billed for? Do we fill out an anesthesia record for each of the patient? Can the CRNA be inserting a block on one patient while being available to monitor another in the same room?
Any information on the billing process of this would be greatly appreciated. We just want to make sure we are captureing everything we can, and still billing correctly.
Thanks,
