Hello
Currently, when we code for anes ,we are only able to code one CPT code/ASA code per claim (if more than 1 procedure is done, we choose the highest base)
When it comes to L&D though, we are trying to understand how we would code the anesthesia for the vaginal, as well as the C-section. ( I think it would just need to be implemented into our coding system)
When a vaginal delivery converts to a c-section, you would use 01967 followed by add code 01968. Is this something that anesthesia L&D coders are actively doing and getting paid on?
Please, any and all input is welcome. Thank you
