I am new to OBGYN and our office has recently started using Nitrous Oxide for analgesia in some OBGYN procedures. Does anyone know the code and correct billing for this? Any guidance will be greatly appreciated. The best code we have found is 01999.
 
Yes, per CPT Assistant (Aug 2014 and May 2015) you should use 01999.

According to my research the service often converts to an epidural. When that happens the stop time for the N2O should be noted and the epidural fully documented and reported with the appropriate neuraxial labor code.
 
hey jkyles,

i know your post was a while ago but i don't have access to cpt assistant i was wondering is there any chance you could send me those 2 articles or screen shots or attachements of them in any way to my email so i can view it. My practice is now interested in using nitrous oxide for gyn procedures. My email is camillekorb0@gmail.com

Thank you so much! hoping i get them or if someone else who has access and reads this can be a good Samaritan and send it. Thank you!
