Wiki Anesthesia question!

[Amanda_Kentch]

If one of our anesthesiologists places a epidural hoping that the pt would give birth to a demised pregnancy and the pt never did and they had to end up doing a d&c, which a different anesthesiologist group did the second procedure can we bill for the epidural?

I think you can. Charge the first epidural as a base charge(62318) with a pain diagnosis(625.9)
