We are a Children's Hospital who have started to offer deliveries to women who know that their baby is in need of immediate medical assistance once they are born. But - we are having problems in getting the anesthesia claims paid by insurance (Medicare and commercial both) when the labor starts with an epidural and then progresses in to a C-Section. One code will get paid (usually the lower $$$) and the other won't because they state they have already paid the anesthesia for delivery. Part of the problem is within our own system: we send out two separate claims because we are reporting time. Anyone out there have issues with this and how have you fixed it?

Thanks for your feedback,
