Anesthesia coding is somewhat confusing to me. I'm trying to find the correct codes for this question.
Q: Anesthesia services for carotid thromboendarterectomy with patch graft for server carotid artery stenosis: pt is 75 yrs old and has had recurrent carotid artery stenosis; pt also has a pacemaker for control of atrial fibrillation.
These are the codes I come up with:
Anesthesia CPT code: 00350
Qualifying Circumstances code: 99100
Anesthesia Modifier code: P3
Anesthesia code 00350- Anesthesia for procedures on major vessels of the neck; nos
Qualifying Circumstance code: Anesthesia for pt of extreme age, under 1 year and over 70 years
Anesthesia Modifier code P3 - Pt with server systemic disease
Are these codes correct? I not trying to find an easy way out. I'm need to make sure I understand what I'm doing. That's why I provide the answers I come up with hoping the professionals can give me their input.
