Is it appropriate to bill 99231 when our anesthesiologist visits the patient bedside to evaluate and document her post op intrathecal pain control.
Details are given for 2 of these 3 components:
A problem focused history,
problem focused exam
and medical decision making of straightforward or low complexity.

If you have any resources will you please share them?
 
Usually, you would bill 01996 for the post-op visit that takes place the following day and not an E/M code. If the post-op visit is the same day, it's not billable.

01996 = Daily hospital management of epidural or subarachnoid continuous drug administration.
