What would be the anesthesia code for chornic pain consultation of intractable abdominal pain?
 
If your anesthesia provider is performing a consultation only then you would use the consultation CPT code based on the documentation. This would be considered a medical service performed by an anesthesiologist and is, therefore, not submitted under an ASA anesthesia code.
