ACCORDING TO THE LAWS YOU CAN ONLY BILL 1 SERVICE PER DAY FOR ANESTHESIA
SO YOU WOULD COUNT ALL OF YOUR TIME BUT WOULD ONLY USE THE CODE FOR YOUR DELIVERY. I ADD A ADX V25.5 SO THE INSURANCE IS AWARE THAT STERILIZATION WAS ALSO DONE ON THAT DATE OF SERVICE

Our office bills both charges separately. We add a 78 modifier to the sterilization and get paid every time.

anesthesia for tubal
I have gotten denials for 58611 (add on) when billing 01961, so do I need to be adding a modifier? None of them seem appropriate.
