Hello everyone. I hope there are some coders with some ASC
knowledge
cause I have some questions. I code for an ambulatory surgical
center
in Montgomery, Alabama. I bill for the procedures only. The
anesthesialogist bill for their services seperatley. One of the
anesthesialogist came to be and was asking if there was any
component
of continous cath blocks for post op pain (64446, 64416, 64449)
that
we as the ASC could charge for and be covered. My office manager
does
not think that we can charge for this and that it is included in
the
procedure. I think differently since this is continous and for
post
op pain management. Can anyone give me some guidance on this?
Thank
you so much for your help.
