The provider documented a bilateral mastopexy with reduction CPT 19316 and there is no anesthesia code for this procedure in my cross coder book.
the closest code is the reduction mammaplasty code 9 19318 which has a cross code.
How do I code and bill this charge per the anesthesia code, patient is self pay.
thanks in advance for your help.
 
The closest anesthesia code I see for this would be 00402 - reconstructive procedures on breast. I'd still use 19316 for the mastopexy.

Hope this at least helps with the coding. Sorry I can't really help you with the billing question.
