When would moderate sedation be performed by an anesthesiologist/pain management physician, and if so, how would it be coded with a procedure?
Also a question on 76942.26 - If used for placement of a needle for post-op pain interscaline block, when also billing for the anesthesia procedure under general anesthesia, can these be billed together? If so, would the post-up pain dx code be listed as a secondary code? Please help, as I'm confused.
