What am I missing? This can't be right:
For mastoplexy, I need to calculate the anesthesia expected reimbursement:
CPT 00402 = 5 base units
Time = 3.75 hours = anesthesia 15 time units
Medicare conversion rate = 24.32
SO, I can expect Medicare to pay:
(base units + time units) x conversion rate = payment
(5 + 15) X 24.32 = $486.40
Is this possible that this would be the payment for almost 4 hours of surgery?
