Wiki Aetna's reimbursement of anesthesia

[Newbie]

Does Aetna reimburse anesthesia using the anesthesia formula:
base units + time units x the $ conversion factor?

Contract reads that reimburses base units x the conversion factor.

Please advise.

Newbie,

It has been my experience that Aetna does pay base units + times units x the $ conversion factor. However, if your contract reads as you have posted I would say that you need to quickly revisit this with them and get them to renegotiate a new contract. ---C ONeill, CPC
