Wiki ANESTHESIA TELEPHONE PATIENT CONSULTS

[mkndevh@msn.com]

Does anyone know if it's appropriate to bill anesthesia telephone consults (99441-99443) for patients (mainly OB)? I know 99441-99443 CPT codes are for established patients and most payors were making an exception during PHE. Any feedback is appreciated. Thank you!

If they receive anesthesia, this is inclusive to the anesthesia service, as it would be the equivalent to the pre-op H&P.
