Wiki Anesthesia for transforaminal ESI

[Lina]

When anesthesia is performed for transforaminal ESIs what anesthesia code do you bill? It states that anesthesia not typically required so doesn't have an ASA but years ago I know it crossed to 01935 and 01936.

For diagnostic procedures, we use 01935.
For therapeutic procedures, we use 01936.

I hope this helps.
